Description
Excerpt from When North Winds Blow
Then, next day, across to the English lakes, a placid panorama revealing groomed and dignified beauty, stolid, characteristic of the great nation the very name Windermere suggesting centuries of aristocracy, grace and gentle stability.
At evening of the following day - for I was trav eling fast and light - I watched the sunset across Lake Geneva from the shores of Montreux, the Ber nese Alps behind me and sombre Chillon just across the bay. At sunrise I breakfasted at Interlaken and, before the first pipe, had been up and down Thun and Brienz and enjoyed all the grandeur that was Swiss.
