Pagina 65 - Nature reserves to herself the prerogative of giving to her visitors the rapturous impression. The view of these falls varies exceedingly, according to the plenitude or paucity of the waters. In the autumnal floods, and particularly the spring freshets, arising from the sudden liquefaction of snow in the northern country, the river is swelled a hundred-fold, and comes rushing in a vast body of tumultuous foam from the summit rock into the broad basin at the bottom.
