Original Narrative: Ross Boden Glacier & Fletch Horn, from the bridge over Seng Back, near Sempione: The torrent, which before tore down trees and rocks in its impetuous course, narrows to a babbling brook; till at length even that dwindles to a rill, all traces of which are soon lost in the broad face of a barren rock. It appeared like the emblem of the fading honours of the country we are just quitting. Once its broad extending legions embraced in their resistless course the greater part of the known world, the most powerful nations bending before their superior skill and strength. With them learning and the arts enjoyed a long and, prosperous reign; till unpitying fate caught even proud Rome in her relentless grasp, and changed her dominion and her wealth to servitude and insignificance. A vivifying climate awoke in the middle ages the dormant genius of more renowned times, and illustrated it with the richest productions of Italian literature.
