TRAVELS
AMONGST THE GREAT ANDES
OF THE EQUATOR
BY
EDWARD WHYMPER
WITH MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS
To sit on rocks, to muse o’er flood and fell,
To slowly trace the forest’s shady scene,
Where things that own not man’s dominion dwell,
And mortal foot hath ne’er, or rarely been;
To climb the trackless mountain all unseen,
· | · | · | · | · |
This is not solitude; ’tis but to hold
Converse with Nature’s charms, and see her storess unroll’d.
Byron.
