alhambria

Updated: May 28, 2025

These columns are made to put one in mind of the Alhambria, where we so often strayed with our friend Washington Irving. And oh, what curious feelin's it did make me have to cast my eyes onwards amongst these splendid arches and pillows, and see anon or oftener a tall Moor, with his long robe and his white turban, or whatever they call it, a-fallin' round his face!
