The Development Of The Feeling For Nature In The Middle Ages And Modern Times Part 53

[Footnote 4: For example, this from Ramusio: 'And the coast is all low land, full of most beautiful and very tall trees, which are evergreen, as the leaves do not wither as do those in our country, but a new leaf appears before the other is cast off: the trees extend right down into the marshy tract of sh.o.r.e, and look as if flourishing on the sea. The coast is a most glorious sight, and in my opinion, though I have cruised about in many parts both in the East and in the West, I have never seen any coast which surpa.s.sed this in beauty. It is everywhere washed by many rivers, and small streams of little importance, as big ships will not be able to enter them.]

[Footnote 8: As he lay sick and despairing off Belem, an unknown voice said to him compa.s.sionately: 'O fool! and slow to believe and serve thy G.o.d.... He gave thee the keys of those barriers of the ocean sea which were closed with such mighty chains, and thou wast obeyed through many lands, and hast gained an honourable fame throughout Christendom.' In a letter to the King and Queen of Spain in fourth voyage.]
