Everything on earth belongs to him; but when the knight took our flowers so freely just now as if they were his own, I thought But there there there! See for yourself, Jungfrau! A heavy, unclipped yellow zecchin!"

The summit of the Jungfrau, for example, consists of gneiss granite, but two masses of Jura limestone have been thrust into it, and their ends folded over. It is the habit, of the Germans especially, to send students into the Alps with a case for flowers, a net for butterflies, and a box for bugs. Every rod is a schoolhouse. They speak of the "snow mountains" with ardent affection.

Another was at a small table near it, writing in her journal. Around the walls of the room were a great many engravings and colored lithographs of Swiss scenery; among them were several views of the Jungfrau. On the whole, the room, though perfectly plain and even rude in all its furniture and appointments, had a very comfortable and attractive appearance.

The sun was down as far as that barrier was concerned, but not for the Jungfrau, towering into the heavens beyond the gateway. She was a roaring conflagration of blinding white. He was an Irishman, son of an Irish king there were thirty thousand kings reigning in County Cork alone in his time, fifteen hundred years ago.

But we like to sit here and think of that rosy evening, last summer, when we came walking into Interlachen, and beheld the ghost-like figure of the Jungfrau issuing out of her cloudy palace to welcome the stars, of a cool, bright, autumnal morning on the western battlements overlooking Genoa, the blue Mediterranean below mirroring the silent fleet that lay so motionless on its bosom, of a midnight visit to the Colosseum with a band of German students, who bore torches in and out of the time-worn arches, and sang their echoing songs to the full moon, of days, how many and how magical! when we awoke every morning to say, "We are in Rome!"

Many years afterwards I described it in the Fourth volume of Main Currents. From Interlaken I gazed on the whiteness of the Jungfrau, but scarcely with greater emotion than once upon a time when I had gazed at the white cliffs of Moeen.

"Henry," said Mr. George, "there is a thunder shower coming up; we must hasten on." "No," said Henry; "that was an avalanche." "An avalanche?" exclaimed Mr. George. "Why, the sound came out of the middle of the sky." "It was an avalanche," said the guide, "from the Jungfrau. See!" he added, pointing up into the sky. Mr.

The soldier turned, stood still a moment in astonishment, raised his hand to his forehead, and then, with a few hurried bounds, sprang down the stairs and rushed up to the burgomaster's wife. Maria had started back in surprise; but he gave her no time to think, for stretching out both hands he exclaimed in an eager, joyous tone, with sparkling eyes: "Maria! Jungfrau Maria! You here!

There was a sort of piazza in front of it, with a bench and a table before it. "That is where the people sit, I suppose," said Mr. George, "in pleasant weather to see the Jungfrau." "Yes," said Rollo. "For the Jungfrau must be over there," said Mr. George, pointing among the clouds in the southern sky. All doubt about the position of the mountain was removed at the instant that Mr.

One is out in the open, so to speak; one walks over that vast plateau of snow over 11,000 feet high in the glorious sunlight, above most of the nearer peaks and looking down at a beautiful panorama. On one side of this plateau is the Jungfrau, on the other the Mönch, either of which can be climbed from here in about three hours.
