Of the anecdotes with which they abound, there are none of wich I myself doubt the authenticity. There are no disquisitions on commerce and politics; I have given facts, and the Reader may comment for himself. My poetical imitations are made with freedom, but I have always done justice to the originals by annexing them. The want of proper types obliged me to adopt in the Portugueze the improvement of the Spanish Academy, and change the c subscribed into z. Where I have copied from early writers, the early spelling is preserved. The journal of my road is minute: - this minuteness will be useful to those who may travel the same way, and pleasant to such as are already acquainted with it. I have represented things as they appeared to me. If any one better informed than I am should find me erroneous, I shall beg him to apply this story: A friend of mine landed at Falmouth with a Russian who had never before been in England. They travelled together to Exeter; on the way the Russian saw a directing-post, of which the inscription was effaced. "I did not think till now (said he) that you erected Crucifixes in England". His companion rectified the error, and seeing close by in the waggon direction, "take off here", he added - "Had you returned home with this mistake, you would have said not only that the English erected Crosses by the way-side, but that stones were placed telling the passenger where to take off his hat, and where it was permitted him to put it on again". POEMAS ESCRITOS APÓS A VIAGEM RETROSPECTIVE MUSINGS Written January 15, 1797 SPAIN! Still my mind delights to picture forth They scenes that I shall see no more, for there Most pleasant were my wanderings. Memory's eye Still loves to trace the gentle Minho's course, And catch it's winding waters gleaming bright Amid the broken distance. I review Leon's wild wastes and heights precipitous, Seen with strange feelings of delight and dread As the snow mules along the perilous brink Passed patient; and Galicia's giant rocks And mountains clustered with the fruitful pines, Whose heads, dark-foliaged when all else was him, Rose o'er the distant eminence distinct Cresting Cresting the evening sky. The rain falls thick, And damp and heavy is the unwbolesome air; I by the cheerful hearth remember Spain, And tread with Fancy once again the ways Where, twelve months since, I travelled on, and thought Of England, and of all my heart held dear, And wish'd this day were come. The mists of morn. (I well remember) hovered o'er the heath, When with the earliest dawn of day we left The solitary Venta. Soon the Sun Rose in his glory: feattered by the breeze The thin mists roll'd away, and now emerged We saw where Oropesa's castled hill Towered in the dim light dark; and now we pall Torralva's quiet huts, and on our way Paus'd frequent, and look'd back, and gazed around, Then journeyed on, and paused, and gazed again. It was a goodly scene. The stately pile Of Oropesa now with all its towers Shone in the sun-beam; half way up the hill, Embowered in olives, like the abode of Peace, Lay Lagartina; and the cool fresh gale Bending the young corn on the gradual slope Play'd Play'd o'er its varying verdure. I beheld A Convent near, and my heart thought that they Who did inhabit there were holy men, For, as they look'd around them, all they saw Was very good. But, when the eve came on, How did the lovely landscape fill my heart! The near ascent arose with little rocks Varied, and trees: the vale was wooded well With oaks now cheerful in their wintry leaves, And ancient cork-trees thro' their wrinkled barks Bursting, and the rich olive * underneath Whose blessed shade the green herb greener grows And fuller is the harvest: many a stream That from the neighbouring hill descended clear Wound vocal thro' the valley: the church tower Marking the heaven near of that day's toil, Rose o'er the wood. But still the charmed eye Dwelt lingering o'er Plasencia's fertile plain, And loved to mark the bordering mountain's snow Pale-purpled as the evening dim decayed. The murmurs of the goat-herds scattered flock Died on the quiet air, and failing slow The The heavy stork sought on the church-tower top His ** fancy-hallowed nest. Oh pleasant scenes! With deep delight I saw you, yet my heart Sunk in me as the frequent thought would rise That here was none to love me. Often still I think of you, and Memory's mystic power Bids me re-live the past; and I have traced The fleeting visions ere her mystic power Wax weak, and on the feeble eye of Age The saint-form'd scenes decay. Befits me now Fix on Futurity the steady ken, And tread with steady step the onward road. * The olive has the remarkable property of fertilizing the soil it grows on. ** The stork is held sacred in Spain.

| dc.relation.isreferencedby | OPINIÕES CRÍTICAS SOBRE A OBRA "[...] we have accompanied him (Southey) with considerable satisfaction in his tour, though he is only one of many who lately made the same countries the subject of their publications". in "The British Critic". London, printed for F. and C. Rivington, vol. XI (for January, February, March, April, May and June), MDCCXCVIII [1798], p. 362. "Mr. Southey's 'Letters written during a short residence in Spain and Portugal' contain interesting information relative to the present condition of those countries, and the manners of the inhabitants, peculiarly useful for travellers the same way [....]". in "The New Annual Register for the year 1797". London, printed for G. G. and J. Robinson, vol. XVIII, MDCCXCVIII [1798], p. 276. "His [Southey's] manner of writing is lively and entertaining: and though the volume before us must yield, in point of information, to the fuller accounts given us of these countries by travellers who have resided in them longer and seem more; it bears everywhere the marks of a sensible and acute mind, alive to the best interests of mankind; and the author's taste and love of literature love given it a variety not always found in works of this nature". in "The Critical Review", new series. London, printed for A. Hamilton, vol. XX, 1797, p. 378. "What, however, will recommend this volume more particularly to English readers, is the able and satisfactory information which is given respecting Spanish and Portuguese poetry. In his view of this subject, the author has not confined himself to general criticism, don't has enlivened and enriched his account by translations from different parts of the most approved ports of those countries, accompanying them in every instance with the original." in "The British Critic". London, printed for F. and C. Rivington, vol. XI (for January, February, March, April, May and June), MDCCXLVII [1798], p. 365. "They [Letters] breathe throughout a liberal manly spirit, and expose, in proper terms of detestation and disgust, the complicated evils of despotism and superstition, which spread want and wretchedness over some of the most charming and fertile scenes in Europe." in "The New Annual Register for the year 1797". London, printed for G. G. and J. Robinson, vol. XVIII, MDDCXCVIII [1798], p. 276. "[...] his [Southey's] descriptions are often so beautiful, as to present to the imagination a strong and vivid representation of the grand and the romantic scenery with which those highly favoured countries abound." in "The British Critic". London, printed for F. and C. Rivington, vol. XI (for January, February, March, April, May and June), MDCCXCVIII [1798], p. 362. | |
