Description
Excerpt from Heidelberg, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance
The green, green Neckar, ?owing along in the midst, winds on through the long waving val ley, showing ripples of gold wherever, in the sunshine, the winds stir it or the rocks ob~ struct, and, at each calmer spot, serves as a mirror to the loveliness around; giving back. The bright tints of hills and woods, and town and bridge, with a lustrous clearness no other stream can match. Even that boat, with its many coloured crew of peasantry, shines out upon the face of the river in red and blue, and white and brown, as if the very hues acquired a finer dye from the water that but re?ects them; and the fishing eagle, swooping down upon his finny prey, strikes at it the more fiercely when he sees the image of himself rushing to seize it also from below.
