The most beautiful hills Of Europe outside
the great cities are covered with obelisk and
funeral vase and arched gareways and col

sculptured into excellent ha--reliefs and the
features of dear faces that have vanished.
Genoa has its terraces cut into tOmbs, and
Constantinople covers with cypress the ST
