American Falls, Niagara, from Across River
The sylvan perfume, the gayety of the sunshine, the mildness of the breeze that stirred the leaves overhead, and the bird singing that made itself felt amid the roar of the rapids and the solemn incessant plunge of the cataract, moved our hearts and made us children with the boy and girl that stood beside us--who stood for a moment and then broke into joyful wonder. --W. D.Howells The pure beauty of elegance and grace is the grand characteristic of the falls. It is supremely artistic, a harmony, a masterpiece. The lower half of the waterway wall is shrouded in the steam of the boiling gulf--a veil never rent or lifted. At its core this eternal cloud seems fixed and still with excess of motion--still and intensely white. --Henry James To paint the glories that come and go upon the falling, rushing waters, the painter must dip his brush in the rainbow, and when he has done his best, he willnot be believed by those who have not seen his subject with their own eyes. --Art Journal

Ice Bridge and Mounds, Niagara Falls
The grandeur and loveliness of the Niagara Falls is replaced in winter by a not less majestic but more forbidding aspect. The mighty sweep of the waters does not allow of any formation of ice in the rapids above or below the falls, but at the edges of the river, in the shallows, mighty columns and pillars of crystal are piled up in the shape of huge mounds, on which the snows of heaven descend to add their pure white to the glistening green of the rushing waters, the deep purple of the ice behind the flowing cutain and the brilliant hues of the giant icicles reflecting the rays of the sun. And however long a visitor may linger, new beauties will present themselves, and the greater will be his appreciation with every moment.

Exquisite Iced Foliage, Canadian Side of Niagara Falls
The tourist will never feel the full majestic grandeur of the Niagara Falls until he has seen them from all points and at all seasons; until he has stood below and seen its flood of waters pour from the very vault of heaven; until he has passed behind its watery veil and felt the buffeting of its imprisoned air, or stood beside the Whirlpool Rapids and felt the utter impotence of man. He will never know their indescribable beauty until he has watched the very center of the Horse Shoe or wandered in the wooded aisles of Goat Island or by the fairy cascades of the Three Sisters. He will never understand their wonderful voice until he has listened to the thunder of the Horse Shoe, which Eugene Thayer, the great organist, declared "was not a roar, but the divinest music on earth."
