SINTRA - "Glorious Eden"

2014-01-20T06:25:00.002-08:00

Sintra's "Glorious Eden" by Lord Byron

Poor, saltry slaves! yet born midst noblest slaves -
why, nature, waste thy wonders on such men?
Lo, Sintra’s glorious Eden intervenes
in variegated maze and glen
Ah me! what hand can pencil guide, or pen
to follow half on which the eye dilates.

See this beautiful region by walking!
