On my return to Salzbrun, I wound my course along the lovely valley of Prelsnitz, through whose bosom a transparent river traced its rapid course in many a graceful curve : its tiny inhabitants were fearlessly dart- ing through the shining stream, or gambolling in the radiant sun, appearing as if they had never been mo- lested by the murderous net or the treacherous line. Nature seemed also to exist in her primeval beauty ; for the meadowy banks were fragrant with wild roses^ L 2 148 SILESIA. j...essamines, and violets, while the majestic trees of the virgin forest swept the sides of the hills, down to the river-side. I now took my departure for the gigantic chain of mountains, the Riesengebirge ; my conveyance vras the eilwagen^ and the Prussian eagles gorgeously emblazoned on each panel were peaceable, for instead of being armed as usual with the sword and lightning of Jove, they merely wielded a postboy's horn. The weather being bright and balmy, and the scenery beautiful, I took my station in the cabriolet with the conductor, who had formerly served in the Prussian army : his last military exploits, with which he amused me, and which equalled those of a genuine Gascon, were on the field of Waterloo ; he was also a perfect North-Gterman, for he drank schnapps at every post-house, and, like a true Prussian, his oaths were not commonplace ones, for he swaggered and swelled them into mountains.
