Original Narrative: Ventimiglia. Coast of Genoa: The country about this place is highly picturesque. A rocky declivity, hewn in one part into abrupt steps, conducts from the town to the banks of the Roja, a broad stream, which, having its rise in the Col di Tende, possesses all the strength and mountain freshness which make rivers seem so much the favourites of nature in such situations. The falling arch of a halfruined bridge, extended across it, harmonizes well with the general character of the scenery. Rocks are the ruins of nature; the dilapidations—the shattered pillars,—the bared foundations of the old world. They inspire a feeling of doubt in the stedfastncss of the earth, carrying us farther back in that species of thought than the ruins of castles or cathedrals. It is amid broken hills, grey and crumbling rocks, by the dried-up channels of old rivers, and on the brink of precipices whence woods have been torn down by successive storms, that the destruction of works of human labour affects the mind with the deepest awe. The boundaries of time are lost sight of in such scenes, and it is only when the eye looks upward, and sees the blue eternal heavens smiling as they have done from the beginning, that the melancholy sense of change and decay finds relief.
