FAMILIAR LONDON

These pages that I have written are inadequate, incomplete. One's eye sees so much that it cannot fathom; one's heart and one's mind feel so much that can be uttered in no mere words; one feels, but one cannot express, the beauty, the grandeur, the might and power, that lie before one in the Capital of the British Empire. As Shelley says,

London that great sea whose ebb and flow

At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore
Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more;
Yet in its depths what treasures!
