IV. , Plate 2, Paint- ing, Diversities of the Human Face, Fig. 4. ) And now let us return to our chief picture. In the days of my earliest remembrance, a row of tall Lombardy poplars mounted guard on the western side of the old mansion. Whether, like the cypress, these trees suggest the idea of the funeral torch or the monumental spire, whether their tremulous leaves make us afraid by sympathy with their nerv- ous thrills, whether the faint balsamic smell of their leaves and their closely swath...ed limbs have in them THE GAMBREL-ROOFED HOUSE. 249 vague hints of dead Pharaohs stiffened in their cere- ments, I will not guess ; but they always seemed to me to give an air of sepulchral sadness to the house before which they stood sentries. Not so with the row of elms which you may see leading up towards the western entrance. I think the patriarch of them all went over in the great gale of 1815 ; I know I used to shake the youngest of them with my hands, stout as it is now, with a trunk that would defy the bully of Crotona, or the strong man whose liaison with the Lady Delilah proved so dis- astrous.
