THC VENICE OF THE NORTH.
A First View of Danzig, the Ftomantle
City of Melancholy.
A Baltic fog rolled in from the
north ns my trnin rolled in from tho
south, pays 'ffobert Haven Schauf
fler, vriting of "Ifomanlic Ger
many Danzig" in the Century,
bringing nn ideal hour for the first
impressions of a" city so full of
northern melancholy, a city so far
from the beaten track and so ro
mantic as Danzig. Down a street
full of gargoyles and strange stone
platforms there loomed through.lhe
mist a monstrous church, crowned
with pinnacles and a huge, blunt
tower.
A gate that seemed like the facade
of an Italian palace pierced by a
triumphal arch opened on a street
of fascinating old gables, and be
yond them rose a rathaus with a
most exquisite steeple. I passed be
tween tall, slim palaces, through
the arches of a water gate and came
out by the river, to fill my lungs
with a sudden draft of ozone and to
realize that 1 was almost in the
presence of the Baltic.
Toward the sea swept an unbro
ken line of romantic architecture,
narrow, sharp gabled houses inter
mingled with towered water gates,
and, Jast or. all, 1 lie prolile of. the
Krahn thor, or Crane gate, Dan
zig's unique landmark its stories
projecting one beyond another. On
the island formed bv two arms of
the Mbttlau the black and white of
half timbered granaries started
strongly out of the mist.
The river bristled with romantic
shipping, and as I walked along the
quay I caught, between the gables,
the glow of the lights of the Lange
market flushing the fog into, a rosy
cloud, the center of which was the
steeple of the rathaus. It was as
though beauty had been given an
aureole.
I turned a corner aud wandered
along the shore of the island, past a
deserted waterway and a strange,
crumbling tower called the Milk
can gate, then back again to the
Green bridge. The darkness had
thickened so that one could no
longer distinguish the separate
house fronts, but all the lamps
along the shore had their soft auras
of mist, and the surface of the wa
ter was one delicate shimmer, with
strong columns of light at regular
intervals, among which the crimson
lantern of a passing boat wrought
amazing effects.
Where had I known such an even
ing before? As memory wandered
idly about the harbor of Lubeck,
the bridges of Nuremberg, the m
er sides of Wurzburg and Breslau,
I waB flashed in a trice to the "siren
of sea cities," that "floating film
upon the wonder fraught ocean of
dreams," and it came to me with a
glow of pleasure that this place had
from or old been called "the Venice
of the north."
This, then, was my introduction
to Danzig, and 1 never think of it
without seeing streets full of high,
narrow facades, melting one into
another; gently curving streets,
alive v.ith rich reliefs; babies of
blurred worthies and inquisitive
gargoyle-, the blunt, mighty Church
of St". Mury looming above them
like a mountain. I can never seo
the nunio of Danzig without be
holding n dusky waterway lined with
mediaeval structures and strange
juxtaposition a jewel of reforma
tion art with its rosy aureole.
