Naslonila se je na okno in hlastno pila ta spomladanski vonjavi vzduh, ki je posvežil zadehle Študentovske ulice, kjer je sicer zrak vedno spominjal na mrtvašnico.

Tedaj je pa živinče hipno dvignilo težko svojo glavo, pričelo po zraku vohati in končno je dalo od sebe nekaj grdega rezgetanja, kakor da je izteknilo kaj zelo prijetnega!

Pok puške je „pretresel zatohli zrak: stari Uroš je bil ustrelil na Alija Kemala, pa ga ni zadel; krogla je izgrešila cilj in udarila v steno izbe, komaj par pedi od Jeričine glave.

Na par mestih se vidi razločno, da so vhodi v druge kanale zazidani; le slab duh, ki te pozdravi tu in tam, in mokrota, ki prodira skozi zemljo iz drugih rovov, te spominjata, kje se nahajaš ...“ Zrak je bil v resnici neprikladen za občutljive nature in je razodeval mestoma še preveč vsiljivo bližino drugih kanalov; tudi mokrote ni manjkalo: vsakih par korakov je pljusnila pod nogami trojice ogabna luža svoje temne kaplje po kamenitih stenah.

Saj še kuhati ne zna ...“\r\r\r\rNa Jelarjevini je lipa odcvetla in se ravno usipala, rumeno cvetje je plavalo po zraku, kadar je zašumel veter med košatimi vejami, in duh lipovega cvetja se je mešal z zatohlim, po svečah in mrtvem truplu dišečim zrakom, ki je prihajal skozi odprta okna.

In morda še to: tam okrog je stopal krut, odločen mož z nabito puško črez rame, ki bi hladno sprožil, če bi zapazil, kaj se godi ...“ in stari konzul je vohal po zraku kakor krvoločen lovski pes ...

The chief part of the following day was devoted devoted to an excursion higher up the valley , whose fertility and natural beauties excited delight and admiration at every step .The heat of the sun was but the mildness , and elasticity , and fragrance of the air , were inexpressibly grateful to the senses , and reminded me of the delicious climate of Madeira , more than of any other that I had yet known .From the summit of an eminence I could see the main body of the mountain - torrent foaming over its pebbly bed , while innumerable channels that branched out from the parent stream , some natural , others artificial , imparted fertihty to the whole adjacent country .

Prior to the establishment of this college , they were educated at Coim - bra , a place apparently much better adapted for that purpose , as it possesses many advantages not to be found in a commer - cial city .The fragrance of the air , the stillness of the coun - try , and the delightful prospects with which Coimbra abounds , are great incitements to study ; besides it is enriched with immense literary treasures , the accumulation of ages ; and its buildings are very magnificent .Now the seminary - at Lisbon is deficient in all these points .

Hence their wants , comparatively speaking , are but few , and these are easily satisfied ; their love of ease exempts them from many passions to which other nations are subject : gross offences are rarely known among them , but , when once offended , offended , they are not easily appeased ; passions that are seldom roused , act with the greater violence when agitated ; under this impression , individuals have sometimes been hurried to violent acts of revenge ; but now , the vigilance of the magistrates , magistrates , and the growth of civilization , have blunted the point of the dagger .The temperance of the people , and their exemption from hard labour , the fragrance of the air , and the number of mineral mineral springs with which the country abounds , are circumstances circumstances so favourable to the human constitution , that we should naturally expect to find the Portuguese live to a great age ; yet there are not many remarkable instances of longevity GENERAL SURVEY OF GREENLAND .1017 birds make their roost , in the night and deposit their eggs .

I have no doubt that dismal and frightful images have been thus presented to young persons after scenes of domestic affliction or public horror The following passage from the Alcazar of a tale , or historical sketch , by the author of Doblado ' s letters , affords a NOTES 97 further illustration of this subject .When , descending fast into the vale of years , I strongly fix my mind ' s eye on those narrow , shady , silent streets , where I breathed the scented air which came rustling through the surrounding groves ; where the footsteps re - echoed from the clean watered porches of the houses , and where every object spoke of quiet and contentment ; the objects around me begin to fade into a mere delusion , and not only the thoughts , but the external sensations , which I then experience , revive with a reality that almost makes me shudder — it has so much the character of a trance , or Note 15 , p .63 , lines 3 and _ .

j Lists not the charmer ' s syren tongue , Owns not the power of suasive hope ? Would that in after years of grief , I could have felt the sadness brief That infancy bestows ! Would that my heart by madness wrung , To hope ' s sweet comfort could have clung , Amid severer woes ! But rolling years of varied sorrow , Have bade me nought from hope to borrow Far is her flight , and strong her wing , And eagle - like her foot will cling , Above the storm , to cliffs that raise Their fronts to catch the solar blaze .Yet lives she not amid the skies , Like eastern birds of Paradise , Whose food in fragrant air is given , Who quaff the balmy dews of heaven : Deserted on her eyry high , Her bosom faints , and fails her eye , And hope herself unfed will die .150 YAMOYDEN .

The Hottentots Hottentots had prepared our repast , and when it was ended , all the party retired to rest , for the evening was far advanced when we arrived .The balmy fragrance of the air , the mild beams of the moon , and the romantic solitude of the spot , induced me to wander for a time , and contemplate the wildness of the scene .The stillness of the night was occasionally broken broken by the cries of wild animals .

I know thee well enough ; thy name is Gloster : Thou must be patient ; we carne crying hither .Thou know ' st , the first time that we smell the air , We wawl , and cry : — I will preach to thee ; mark me .Glo .

Full on the sight The pilgrim files break forth — a shadowy host Of beings unallied to earth they seem ; Such as some peasant sees , or thinks he sees , When through the lonely abbey ruins he Hies homeward by the moon .Muffled in cowl And scapular , with relic , rood , and bead , Monastic shapes , of days and years gone by , Glide gloomily along the shadowed isles , And airy censers on the night - breeze fling Exquisite odours , while through broken arch And window , where the green ash mournful waves , Streams the rich choral strain and vesper hymn , Till from the rustling ivy screams the owl , At which the vision into dimness fades , And all is hush ' d , save the wind ' s hollow voice .What music swells so sweetly on the gale , That the dark dewy tresses flings abroad Of yonder willow , and from the opening rose [ Book IV ROGVALD .

In a room little more than fifteen feet square , I have seen as many as fifteen or sixteen people ( Irish ) crowded together with little chance of ventilation , as it was never emptied by day or night .In all those situations we daily have to combat not only against the disease , but against the ill effects arising from filth , fetid air , and bad nursing ; and no wonder if , with such potent allies , the disease sometimes sets at nought the power of the remedy .May I be permitted , permitted , therefore , to draw your serious attention to these reservoirs of filth and disease ? Much indeed has been done by the vigilance of the police , and not a little by private benevolence , but those who know the indocility of the Irish poor , and the tenacity with which they cling to inveterate habits , will easily see how hard a task it is to instil a taste for the sweets of cleanliness .

He is now said , however , to be aiming at the dignity of Raja , a title which at present bears pretty nearly the same estimation here as a peerage in England , and is conferred by government government in almost the same manner .The house is surrounded by an extensive garden , laid out in formal parterres of roses , intersected by straight walks , with some fine trees , and a chain of tanks , fountains , and summer - houses , not ill adapted to a climate where air , water , and sweet smells , are almost the onlynatural objects which can be relished during the greater part of the year .The whole is little less Italian than the facade of his house , but on my mentioning this similarity , he observed that the taste for such things was brought into India by the Mussulmans .
