Synopsis
Excerpt from Wanderings by the Seine: From Rouen to the Source
For a short period in summer, it is possible to travel from Rouen to Paris by a passage steam - boat on the Seine: the voyage, however, is long, and not always pleasant. Our eyes, accustomed to the magnificent panorama presented by the lower part of the river, become discontented even with beauty itself the towns, villages, and castles, flit past us like shadows, and carry away with them, like shadows, their historical associations; till, by the time we reach our destination, we heartily regret having forsaken the moral world of the past and present, for the cold, dead face of external nature.
