Humboldt: “ . . . the sun proved clearly that the high land in the horizon was not Trinidad, but, Tobago . . . The island of Tobago presents itself under a very picturesque aspect. It is a heap of rocks carefully cultivated. The dazzling whiteness of the stone forms an agreeable contrast with the verdure of some scattered tufts of trees.” Personal Narrative, II, chapter 3, pp. 27–8.
