Bruges. This once wealthy and famous city began to
decline early in the sixteenth century, and is now so faint
a shadow of its former self that it has been called "Bruges
the dead!" But it has retained its medieval appearance
and is therefore dear to artists. Its Belfry, built in 1280,
is the theme of Longfellow's poem :-
"In the market place of Bruges
Belguen
Stands the Belfry old and brown,
CARTE POSTALE.
Thrice consumed and thrice rebuilded,
Still it watches o'er the town."
