It is dotted with Hamlets of the usual kind ; and has patches of scraggy fir. Your horizon, even where bare, is limited, owing to the wavy heavings of the ground ; , windmills and church-belfries are your only resource, and even these, from about Leuthen and the Austrian position, leave the Borne quarter mostly invisible to you. Leuthen Belfry, the same which may have stood a hundred years before this Battle, ends in a small tile-roof, open only at the gables : — * Leuthen Belfry,' says a recen...t Tourist, ' is * of small resource for a view. To south you can see some * distance, Sagschutz, Lobetintz, and other Hamlets, amid * scraggy fir-patches, and meadows, once miry pools ; but * to north, you are soon shut in by a swell or slow rise, * with two windmills upon it' (important to readers at present) ; ' and to eastward' (Breslau side and Lissa side), * or to westward' (Friedrich's side), 'one has no view, ex- * cept of the old warped rafters and their old mouldy tiles * within few inches ; or, if by audacious efforts at each * end, to the risk of your neck, you get a transient peep, * it is stopt, far short of Borne, by the slow iiregular * heavings, with or without fir about them.'^ In short, Friedrich keeps possession of that Borne ridge of Knolls, escorted by Cavalry in good numbers; twinkling about in an enigmatic way: — "Prussian right wing yonder," think the Austrians; "whitherward, or what can they mean 1" — and keeps his own columns and * Tourist's Note, penes me.
