Excerpt from Italian Pictures, Drawn With Pen and Pencil "A Land Which was the mightiest in its old command. And is the loveliest, and must ever be The master-mould of Nature's heavenly hand, Wherein were cast the heroic and the free, The beautiful, the brave, the lords of earth and sea, The commonwealth of kings, the men of Rome! And even since, and now, fair Italy! Thou art the garden of the world, the home Of all Art yields, and Nature can decree, Even in thy desert, what is like to thee? Thy very weeds are beautiful, thy waste More rich than other climes' fertility, Thy wreck a glory, and thy ruin graced With an immaculate charm which cannot be defaced." Childe Harold.
