Byron's "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" etext. Canto 18 has the reference to Sintra.
"Lo! Cintra's glorious Eden intervenes
In variegated maze of mount and glen.
Ah me! what hand can pencil guide, or pen,
To follow half on which the eye dilates
Through views more dazzling unto mortal ken
Than those whereof such things the bard relates,
Who to the awe-struck world unlocked Elysium's gates?"
In
1809 Lord Byron wrote to his friend Francis Hodgson, "I must just
observe that the village of Cintra in Estremadura is the most beautiful
in the world."
