Strana 286 - I see multitudes of people passing over it, said I, and a black cloud hanging on each end of it.
Strana 289 - The genius making me no answer, I turned about to address myself to him a second time, but I found that he had left me; I then turned again to the vision which I had been so long contemplating, but instead of the rolling tide, the arched bridge, and the happy islands, I saw nothing but the long hollow valley of Bagdat, with oxen, sheep, and camels grazing upon the sides of it.

Strana 96 - ... he is every day soliciting me for something in behalf of one or other of my tenants his parishioners.
