Yet it is > only within a very few years that any one has more than heard of the > Wissahiccon ... the brook is narrow. Its banks are generally, indeed almost > universally, precipitous, and consist of high hills, clothed with noble > shrubbery near the water, and crowned at a greater elevation, with some of > the most magnificent forest trees of America, among which stands conspicuous > the liriodendron tulipiferum. The immediate shores, however, are of granite, > sharply defined or moss-covered, against which the pellucid water lolls in > its gentle flow, as the blue waves of the Mediterranean upon the steps of > her palaces of marble.
