Text Appearing Before Image:
licate,tender, silver-grey foliage. Few trees are so noble. From Limone to Gargnano the banksare steep, the rocks rise almost perpendicularly from the water, which is here of considerabledepth ; but from Gargnano to Desenzano, stretches the long, fruitful shore, which theItalians call the Riviera. Gardens and elegant villas alternate with arable land. Manyof the houses have the lintels of the doors and the window-sills of marble from thequarries of Tremosine. The nobles of Verona and Brescia have their country houses 32 ITALY. here ; but besides that, there is frequently a gathering of the populace, gaily dressed andmerry folks, on market days at Gargnano, when the fishing-boats run into the harbour ofSalo to take refuge from bad weather.

Their alternations, andthe brilliant calms which succeed them, give to this lake that inexhaustible richness ofcolouring which makes it quite unique. When the smooth surface displays a fathomlessblue tint, with the sky like a tender veil above it, it will change on a sudden as by thestroke of a magic wand to dark steel-colour directly a storm begins to agitate its depths ;until this too, abruptly disappears to make way for a pale green, with white, foam-crestedwaves. Then the black tempestuous sky will grow lighter, a rosy evening gleam willsteal over the wide waters that rock themselves slowly to rest whilst the moon appearsamid the torn wrack of clouds and pours forth a stream of silver. It is like a humancountenance on which anger and joy succeed each other ; which is now full of rage, nowpale with terror, until at length silent peace overspreads its features. ON THE LA GO DI GARDA. 3
