Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in the East, Including a Journey in the Holy Land, Vol. 1 The notes which I have here consented to give to the public have none of these merits. I yield them with regret; they are merely in the shape of recollections for myself, and were destined for that purpose alone. There is nothing of science, history, geography, or manners in them - the public was far from my thoughts when I wrote them - and how did I write them? Sometimes at noon, during the mid-day repose, under the shade of a palm-tree, or under the ruins of a monument in the desert more often in the evening beneath a tent, beaten by the wind and rain, by the light of a torch of resin; one day in the cell of a Maro nite convent on Lebanon another day amid the rolling of an Arab boat, or upon the deck of a brig, in the midst of the shouts of sailors, neighing of horses, interruptions and distractions of all sorts by land and sea; sometimes eight days without writing at all; at other times losing the scattered pages of an album, torn by jackals, or steeped in the brine of the sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in the East, Vol. 2: Including a Journey in the Holy Land It is from here, according to my idea, that we have the most splendid view Of Lebanon. We are at its feet, but yet sufficiently distant to be beyond reach of its shadow, and for the eye to canvas it in all its height, to plunge into the darkness of its gorges, to descry the foam of its torrents, and to freely glance among the lowest peaks which flank it, each bearing a Maronite convent, rising from out thickets of pines, cedars, or black cypresses. Sannin, the highest and most pyramidal peak of Lebanon, commands all the lower peaks, and forms, with its eternal snow, the majestic termination on which the violet, rose, and gold, are mingled in hue, of the mountainous horison which floats in the firmament, not like a solid body, but as a vapour, a transparent steam, through which we think the other side of the sky is to be distinguished - a ravishing phenomenon of the mountains of Asia, which I have seen in no other region, and which afi'ords me enjoyment every evening, without my being able to explain the cause. On the southern side, Lebanon gradually sinks to the projecting cape of Saide, formerly Sidon, in descendin peaks crowned here and there, where they rise above the others and the mass of the Lebanon chain, with snow, and following, like the battlements of a ruined town, now ascending, now falling, the line of the sea-coast, and dying away in the mist to the west, towards the mountains of Galilee, and the banks of the sea of Genesareth, otherwise the Lake of Tiberias. On the northern side we perceived a bay of the sea, spreading like a peaceful lake upon the plain, half concealed by the green terraces of the beautiful hill of St Deme trins, the most graceful hill in Syria. In this bay, whose junction with the sea is not perceptible, a few vessels are always lying at anchor, and gently heaving on the ripple, which lashes with its foam amongst the mastic-trees, laurel-roses, and nopals, on the shore. Over the river of Beirout, which runs through the plain, all redolent in life and verdure, a bridge, constructed by the Romans, and restored by fakar-el-din, throws its picturesque arches.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Recollections, Sketches, and Reflections Made During a Tour in the East If the reader desires to find in these volumes aught beyond the fugitive impressions of a passenger who proceeds to his object without pausing, he had better close them. For a painter alone these notes may contain a de gree of interest; some of them are exclusively picturesque they are the written glance, the coup d'azil of a lover of nature, seated on his camel, or on the deck of his vessel, and who, with a few colorless strokes of his pencil upon the pages of his journal, sketches the landscapes as they fly before him, that he may retain some remembrance of them for the morrow.

Download or read book The Holy Land Classic Reprint written by Robert Hichens and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Land He was a Breton, he told me. A Breton! And why was he there in the burning African summer, so far from his own gray country? Very simply he told me why. Always, he said, from his earliest youth he had longed to go to the Holy Land, to stand on the sacred spot where Christ had died upon the Cross. He told nothing to any one of his desire, which at last became so keen that secretly he left his home, his native village, and made his way to the nearest seaport. There he saw a ship bound for Algiers. He was so ignorant of geog raphy that he supposed Algiers was a city in Palestine. So he went on board the ship, and presently found him self under the palms of Africa. In Algiers he nearly starved, perhaps would have starved, had he not heard by chance of Staoueli, and of the good Trappists who fed the hungry outside the gate of heaven. One day he walked out of the city, and at last, nearly dead with fatigue and hunger, came to the monastery's door, above which the Blessed Virgin was smiling. The monks took him in, fed him, clothed him, gave him work. And thus it came about that I found him sitting in the shadow of the tower on that burning day of summer.
