They are crowded with honorary statues ; but I write only from recollection, and one seldom recollects things so pompous and so uniform as the effigies of rich men. At the Albergo de Poveri* is a sculpture of a higher order, a dead Christ in alto relievo, by Michael Angelo. The life and death which he has thrown into this little thing, the breathing tenderness of the Virgin, and the...
44 페이지 - There can be little doubt that the catastrophe was caused by the gradual erosion of the soft strata, which undermined the mass of limestone above, and projected it into the plain. It is also probable, that the part which fell, had for some time been nearly detached from the mountain, by a shrinking of the southern side, as there is at present a rent at this end, upwards of 2000 feet deep, which seems to have cat off a large section from the eastern end, that now " Hangs in doubtful ruins round its...

In stormy weather the water is impelled with greater violence, and flows in greater quantities, till it is nearly exhausted ; or at least reduced too low to be raised again to the fissures. Hence, on such occasions, the fountain fills with rapidity first, and then dries up, or rather...
