SUMMER IN JERUSALEM

During the two months of March and April it (Jerusalem) is a dense mass of flowers of an incomparable freshness of colors. The animals are small, but extremely gentle. Lively and graceful turtle doves, blue-birds so slight that they light upon a blade of grass without bending it, crested larks that come almost to the feet of the traveler, little brook turtles with quick, soft eyes, storks of grave and modest air, putting off all timidity, allow themselves to be approached very closely by man, and seem to call him. In no place in the world do the mountains spread out with more harmony or inspire loftier ideas.
