The view from the high table of ground to which we climbed at length fully repaid our exertions, and may be almost compared, for extent and beauty, to those from the church of Fourvières, and the Montagne de Rochepot.
English and American travellers, strolling down the Montagne de la Cour, were caught by those bright "taking" bits, which Austin Lovel knew so well how to paint. An elderly Russian princess had bought his Peach picture, and given him a commission for portraits of a brood of Muscovian bantlings.
Quartz, upon some of the mountains near the sea-shore, is found in immense blocks, and principally in that mountain range which is designated in the map as the "Montagne du Monstre," at the foot of which were dug up the remains of the huge Saurian lizard.
Take them home and domesticate them, and you will see surprising things. I kept one of middling size for many months. During two or three weeks I wondered how he lived, for he was never seen to eat. He used to climb to the top of the tank and slide down the slippery glass as though it were a montagne russe.
Ce vallon, d'une bonne lieue de longueur sur moitié de largeur, peut occasionner bien des réflexions; nous avons été obligé de passer rapidement sur ces objets, nous ne faisons que les indiquer. Au-haut de la montagne rapide, qui est au-dessus du village d'In-der-Matt, il y a un petit bois de sapins, auquel il est défendu de toucher sous peine de la vie. Il est réservé contre les avalanches; ce sont les seules arbres qu'on voie sur les hauteurs environnantes; derrière ce bois on apperçoit un glacier d'où descend un torrent qui va se jetter dans la Reuss; il amène, ainsi que les autres qui descendent de ce coté, des pierres schisteuses micacées, mêlées de quartz, de même nature que celle qui est
The 'Contrat Social', the 'Lattres Ecrites de la Montagne', and other treatises that once aroused fierce controversy, may therefore be left in the repose to which they have long been consigned, so far as the mass of mankind is concerned, though they must always form part of the library of the politician and the historian.
Melancholy Murger, with Francine and Musette and Rodolphe, at home, in the company of the tattered, one if he not in his single self two or three of the unbound, the paper-covered dozen on the shelf; and when Chad had written, five years ago, after a sojourn then already prolonged to six months, that he had decided to go in for economy and the real thing, Strether's fancy had quite fondly accompanied him in this migration, which was to convey him, as they somewhat confusedly learned at Woollett, across the bridges and up the Montagne Sainte-Genevieve.
Elle n'est point fermée; mais elle a un petit château qui, d'une part est défendu par la rivière, et de l'autre par un marais. Au nord est une montagne. Il n'y a d'habitans que quelques Turcs.
Langres is reminiscent of but one other cathedral city in the north of France; like Laon, it occupies and fortifies the crest of a long drawn out hill, or, to give it dignity, it had perhaps best be called in the language of the native "de la montagne de Langres," since from its apex, it is truly dominant of a wide expanse of horizon.
I do not think so. Is there any serious shame felt at our parasitic condition? None. Are we in earnest about the resettlement of the land? Not yet. All our history shows us to be a practical people with short views. "Tiens! Une montagne!"
