Does not this suggest the lines which DeQuincey so much admired? —
"A wilderness of building, sinking far,And self-withdrawn into a wondrous depthFar sinking into splendor, without end.Fabric it seemed of diamond, and of gold,With alabaster domes and silver spires,And blazing terrace upon terrace, highUplifted. Here serene pavilions bright,In avenues disposed; their towers begirtWith battlements that on their restless frontsBore stars."

His pictures seem to have made a powerful impression upon the highly imaginative author of these Romances. There is something in these descriptions of antique architecture that suggests the influence of such pictured fantasies as Martin's "Seventh Plague;" "The Heavenly City;" and perhaps, especially, the famous "Pandemonium," with its infernal splendor, in Martin's illustrations to "Paradise Lost." – (Trans.)
