Text Appearing Before Image:
anding of vines flungfrom column to column; the secret pool to whichchildless women are brought to bathe, and wherethe tree springing from a cleft of the steps is al-ways hung with the bright bits of stuff which arethe votive offerings of Africa. The shade, the sound of springs, the terracedorange-garden with irises blooming along channelsof running water, all this greenery and coolness inthe hollow of a fierce red hill make Chella seem,to the traveller new to Africa, the very type andembodiment of its old contrasts of heat and fresh-ness, of fire and languor. It is like a desert trav-ellers dream in his last fever. Yacoub-el-Mansour was the fourth of the greatAlmohad Sultans who, in the twelfth century,drove out the effete Almoravids, and swept theirvictorious armies from Marrakech to Tunis andfrom Tangier to Madrid. His grandfather, Abd-el-Moumen, had been occupied with conquest andcivic administration. It was said of his rule thathe seized northern Africa to make order prevail (30)
Text Appearing After Image:
RABAT AND SALfi there; and in fact, out of a welter of wild tribesconfusedly fighting and robbing he drew an empirefirmly seated and securely governed, wherein cara-vans travelled from the Atlas to the Straits with-out fear of attack, and a soldier wandering throughthe fields would not have dared to pluck an ear ofwheat. His grandson, the great El-Mansour, was aconqueror too; but where he conquered he plantedthe undying seed of beauty. The victor of Alarcos,the soldier who subdued the north of Spain, dreameda great dream of art. His ambition was to bestowon his three capitals, Seville, Rabat and Marra-kech, the three most beautiful towers the world hadever seen; and if the tower of Rabat had been com-pleted, and that of Seville had not been injured bySpanish embellishments, his dream would have beenrealized. The Tower of Hassan, as the Sultans toweris called, rises from the plateau above old Rabat,overlooking the steep cliff that drops down to thelast winding of the Bou-Regreg. Trunca
