    u.l. printed: "The panorama is the real overmastering charm. \ It is never twice the same. Although you think \ you have spelt out every temple and peak and es- \ carpment, as the angle of the sunlight changes there \ begins a ghostly advance of colossal forms from the \ farther side, and what you had taken to be the ultimate wall is seen to be made up of still other \ isolated sculptures, revealed now for the first time."
