The Attic Landscape By Herman Melville |

Tourist, spare the avid glance That greedy roves the sight to see: Little here of 'Old Romance,' Or Picturesque of Tivoli. No flushful tint the sense to warm- Pure outline pale, a linear charm. The clear-cut hills carved temples face, Respond, and share their sculptural grace. 'Tis Art and Nature lodged together, Sister by sister, cheek to cheek; Such Art, such Nature, and such weather, The All-in-All seems here a Greek. | |||||||||||||
