geniality and beauty ! In this sunset glow the Parthe-
non, the magnificent Propylsea, the Erechtheum, and
the bewitching temple of Nike are gilded with super-
natural light, as if the sun loved to heighten their

silence silvers the old rock and the temples upon
it, you forget the things of to-day; and in the witch-
ery of the moonlight Athene seems to come once
more to claim her holy place, and you are a willing
worshipper at her shrine.
