o HZ D O s C IV IN THE HOLY LAND Among all the experiences of travel, none, I think,more deeply impresses the mind or lingers longerin its memories than a jonrney through Palestine.First of all, the country itself is, in its characterand natural aspects, extremely interesting. EshShams—as the Syrians themselves call it— theland of the sun, sits well for climate, history,and influence, on the eastern edge of the greatMidland Sea, the centre of so many empires;which, seen from Carmel or any spot along thecoasts thereabout, is almost always of a heavenlyblue colour, changing at sunset to that deep purpletint which Homer called the wine-dark wave.Next, while various regions of travel present hereand there points of ethnological or religious attrac-tion, in Palestine every site, every rock, everyhill, every valley and stream is full of associationsof the most extraordinary and absorbing kind,inextricably blended with the concerns of humanity.Sail down the shores of Asia Minor from Smyr
