The solitude of the Place Vendome was something oppressive; I felt, as I trod its lonely sidewalk, as if I were wandering through Tadmor in the Desert. We were indeed as remote, as unfriended, I will not say as melancholy or as slow, as Goldsmith by the side of the lazy Scheldt or the wandering Po. Not a soul did either of us know in that great city.
"A distant relation of mine, one Patrick Branwell, has set off to seek his fortune in the wild, wandering, adventurous, romantic, knight-errant-like capacity of clerk on the Leeds and Manchester Railroad. Leeds and Manchester where are they? Cities in the wilderness, like Tadmor, alias Palmyra are they not? "There is one little trait respecting Mr.
When he had therefore built this city, and encompassed it with very strong walls, he gave it the name of Tadmor, and that is the name it is still called by at this day among the Syrians, but the Greeks name it Palmyra. Now Solomon the king was at this time engaged in building these cities.
Her religious scruples saved her. She was kindly received by her sister and her sister's husband. They proposed to keep her with them to teach their children. No! the new life offered to her was too like the old life she was broken in body and mind; she had no courage to face it. We have a resident agent in New York; and he arranged for her journey to Tadmor.
'A good backsheesh for our Queen, comrade. If these children of Franguestan can pay a princess's dower to visit some columns in the desert, like Tadmor, they may well give us the golden keys of their treasury when they enter where none should go but those who are 'But they say that this Frank is one.

There is not, anywhere, a more beautiful terrace than this of Battersea Park, especially when the tide is high.
When it comes to a question of my life at Tadmor, of what I saw and learnt and felt in the Community then, I can think and speak like a reasonable being, because I am thinking and speaking of what I know thoroughly well.
