walls full at Gustavus Adolphus’s command; the
three towns are one, large and extensive,
picturesquely varied with old stone houses, wooden
shops, and grass-roofed huts; the sun shines on
the brass balls of the towers, and a forest of
masts stands in that secure harbour.
Rays of beauty shoot forth into the world
from Versailles’ painted divinity; they reach the
Mälar’s strand into Tessin’s [1] palace, where art
and science are invited as guests with the King,
Gustavus the Third, whose effigy cast in bronze
is raised on the strand before the splendid palace
– it is in our times. The acacia shades the palace’s
high terrace on whose broad balustrades flowers
send forth their perfume from Saxon porcelain;
variegated silk curtains hang half-way down
before the large glass windows; the floors are
polished smooth as a mirror, and under the arch
yonder, where the roses grow by the wall, the
Endymion of Greece lives eternally in marble.
As a guard of honour here, stand Fogelberg’s
Odin, and Sergel’s Amor and Psyche.
