Ponte dell'Abbadia As George Dennis described it: It is verily a magnificent structure, bestriding the rocky abyss like a colossus, with the Fiora fretting and foaming at a vast depth beneath. But what means this extraordinary curtain of stalactites which overhangs the bridge on this side, depending in huge jagged masses from the parapet, and looking as though a vast cataract had rolled over the top of the bridge, and been petrified in its fall, ere it could reach the ground?....The stalactites stand out six or seven feet from the wall, and depend to a depth of fifteen or twenty feet. Independently of their remarkable conformation, their colouring — a clear yellowish white — combines, with the grey or reddish masonry, to add to the effect of the bridge.

" He added his opinion that this female figure was Woden's wife. Discussing martial elements of the Wild Hunt, Grimm commented that "it marches as an army, it portends the outbreak of war." He added that a number of figures that had been recorded as leading the hunt, such as "Wuotan, Huckelbernd, Berholt, bestriding their white war-horse, armed and spurred, appear still as supreme directors of the war for which they, so to speak, give licence to mankind."

Brown made quite a show of his unwillingness to follow fashionable literary and cultural nostrums. Some of his best writings are beautifully crafted and often hilarious polemics on modern poetry, music and manners. This can be seen (sometimes with a startling effect on today's reader) in such works as I Commit to the Flames, in which, for example, he is particularly scathing about Eliot and Pound: > Mr T. S. Eliot offers the public the balderdash of his Waste-Land > (pretentious bungling with the English language) and immediately becomes a > pundit, bestriding the Atlantic with his cultural messages....our immunity > from such poetry continually weakens; it has now been discovered that half- > baked intellectuals will worship baby-talk and even persuade other people to > pay for it....Gibberish levels all minds....Hence the popularity of modern > verse....the source of the trouble is a general flight from reason....belief > in the omnipotence of the sub-conscious for faith in self-determination of > the will by reason guided. And again: > ....the Prophet Ezra at large among the alphabet, his Ps and Qs in a fine > frenzy rolling....Mr.
