But what a crowd of memories and feel- ings were awakened by the first view of her shores, the first sounds of her language, the first specimens of her bustling, active spirit, in contrast to the inert- ness by which poverty in warm countries is usually characterized, and the air of perfect repair and clean- liness by which the mere homeliness of decent archi- tecture is raised to a level with splendid and stately buildings, decorated with crumbling ornaments, dila- pidated in some parts, and u...nfinished in others !
