It is a barouche of the newest style , the varnished panels of which reflect the whole moving panorama of the landscape , and show a picture , likewise , of our friend with his visage broadened , so that his meditative smile is transformed to grotesque merriment . Within sits a youth fresh as the summer morn , and beside him a young lady in white with white gloves upon her slender hands and a white veil flowing down over her face . But methinks her blushing cheek burns through the snowy veil . Another white-robed virgin sits in front . And who are these on whom , and on all that appertains to them , the dust of earth seems never to have settled ? Two lovers whom the priest has blessed this blessed morn and sent them forth , with one of the bride-maids , on the matrimonial tour . -- Take my blessing too , ye happy ones ! May the sky not frown upon you nor clouds bedew you with their chill and sullen rain ! May the hot sun kindle no fever in your hearts ! May your whole life 's pilgrimage be as blissful as this first day 's journey , and its close be gladdened with even brighter anticipations than those which hallow your bridal-night ! They pass , and ere the reflection of their joy has faded from his face another spectacle throws a melancholy shadow over the spirit of the observing man . In a close carriage sits a fragile figure muffled carefully and shrinking even from the mild breath of summer . She leans against a manly form , and his arm enfolds her as if to guard his treasure from some enemy . Let but a few weeks pass , and when he shall strive to embrace that loved one , he will press only desolation to his heart . And now has Morning gathered up her dewy pearls and fled away . The sun rolls blazing through the sky , and can not find a cloud to cool his face with . The horses toil sluggishly along the bridge , and heave their glistening sides in short quick pantings when the reins are tightened at the toll-house . Glisten , too , the faces of the travellers . Their garments are thickly bestrewn with dust ; their whiskers and hair look hoary ; their throats are choked with the dusty atmosphere which they have left behind them . No air is stirring on the road .
Nature dares draw no breath lest she should inhale a stifling cloud XXXXX dust .
