I must now take notice of the effect of the Swiss Cottagein scenery.
When one has been wandering fora whole morning through a valley of perfect silence, where everything around,which is motionless, is colossal, and everything which has motion, resistless;where the strength and the glory of nature are principally developed in thevery forces which feed upon her majesty; and where, in the midst of mightinesswhich seems imperishable, all that is indeed eternal is the influence ofdesolation; one is apt to be surprised, and by no means agreeably, to find,crouched behind some projecting rock, a piece of architecture which is neat inthe extreme, though in the midst of wildness, weak in the midst of strength,contemptible in the midst of immensity. There is something offensive in itsneatness: for the wood is almost always perfectly clean, and looks as if it hadjust been cut; it is consequently raw in its color, and destitute of allvariety of tone. This is especially disagreeable, when the eye has been previouslyaccustomed to, and finds, everywhere around, the exquisite mingling of color,and confused, though perpetually graceful, forms, by which the details ofmountain scenery are peculiarlydistinguished. Every fragment of rock is finished in its effect, tinted withthousands of pale lichens and fresh mosses; every pine tree is warm with thelife of various vegetation; every grassy bank glowing with
mellowed color, andwaving with delicate leafage.

thickness of the logs is concealed by the cuttingand carving of their exposed surfaces; and even what is seen is felt to be soutterly contemptible,[Pg 31] when opposed to the destructive forces which arein operation around, that the feelings are irritated at the imagined audacityof the inanimate object, with the self-conceit of its impotence; and, finally,the eye is offended at its want of size. It does not, as might be at firstsupposed,
