sweep of mountain scene seene scenery ry so richly robed in hues of beauty the lake lying calm caim and placid clear asa as a polished mirror reflecting in places the snowy monuments which dropped to its base and the huge piles of natures bulwarks bulwa to the east dyed in golden colors formed a picture preceding su sunset anset which might vie with the loveliest scenery of vaunted switzerland
