| In one place they found a spacious cavern, from whose ceiling depended a multitude of shining stalactites of the length and circumference of a man's leg; they walked all about it, wondering and admiring, and presently left it by one of the numerous passages that opened into it. He ascended into grottos paved with emeralds, with panels of rubies, and the roof glowing with diamond stalactites. The whole cut impressed me as if it were a cave with its stalactites laid open to the light. |
