Poetry from the Rhine and Swiss longing and freedom
A fragmented historical voice retells poems praising the Rhine and Swiss mountains, contrasting German readers with Swiss liberty, and references to Columbus of freedom. The text shifts to critique by Halleck and Bacon on national airs and the French Revolution. It also recounts a New York memorial plate for Charlotte Temple and comments on contemporary literary trends and a Fort Pickens expedition diary excerpt.
