I should not have recalled to mind one of these battles, had they not, one and all, been as glorious for the French and their great captain wearied with long marches, disheartened by the apathy of their own countrymen, and, as they went on, overpowered by mere numbers as they were for our veterans, and Wellington himself. And now, once through Bayonne, we are in the Pignadas and the Landes.
The same sea of brown heather, broken only by the same dark pignadas, or fir plantations, extends for nigh a hundred miles; and when the traveller northward has lost sight, first of the Spanish mountains, and then of the Pyrenean snows, he seems to be rushing along a brown ocean, without wave or shore.
