The absence of any lively traffic on the canals, as in Venice, has this compensation, that the surface is left untroubled the more minutely to mirror the houses and trees, and, at night, the tramcars on the bridges.

The lights of these cars form the most vivid reflections that I can recollect.

But the quiet reproduction of the stately black facades is the more beautiful thing.

An added dignity and repose are noticeable.
