“The radiant aqueducts Turn their innumerable arches o’er The spacious desert, brightening in the sun, Proud and more proud in the august approach: High oe’r irriguous vales, and woods, and towns, Glide the soft whispering waters in the wind, And here united pour their silver streams, Among the figured rocks, in murmuring falls, Musical ever.” The Ruins of Rome.
