Notes: """Here Ehrenbreitstein with her shattered wall""¦_________, upon her height¦
""Yet shows of what she was, when shell and ball¦
""Rebounding idly on her strength did light:¦
""A tower of victory! from when the flight¦
""Of baffled foes was watch'd along the plain¦
""But Peace destroy'd* what War could never blight,¦
""And laid those proud roofs bare to Summer's rain __¦
""On which the iron shower for years had pour'd in vain,""¦
Childe Harold Canto III¦¦
