Puente del Paso Honroso (Honorable Passage Bridge) across the Órbigo River in Hospital de Órbigo, León (Spain)

...
Allí Naturaleza solemniza
tan rica unión, poblando todo el suelo
de verdor y frescura. Verás cómo
buscan después al Órbigo, que a ellos
corre medroso, huyendo de su puente,
del celebrado puente, que algún día
tembló a los botes de la fuerte lanza
con que su paso el paladín de Asturias
de tantos caballeros catalanes,
franceses y lombardos defendiera

Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos
