Pàgina 109 - I TO the hills will lift mine eyes; from whence doth come mine aid ? My safety cometh from the Lord who heaven and earth hath made.
Pàgina 331 - The scene was terrifying, not an herb was to be seen but wild savine, growing in the interstices of the naked rocks; the horrid projection of vast promontories; the vicinity of the clouds, the thunder of the explosions in the slate quarries, the dreadful solitude, the distance of the plain below, and the mountains heaped on mountains that were piled around us, desolate and waste, like the ruins of a world which we only had survived, excited such ideas of horror as are not to be expressed.
Pàgina 112 - twixt earth and sky, A wondrous sight to behold ! Pleasant it is to be here With friends in company, But I would fly to the Isle of Skye To-morrow, if I were free ! Dunedin is queenly and fair — None feels it more than I ; But, in the prime of the summer time, Give me the Isle of Skye ! A HIGHLAND MARCHING SONG.
Pàgina 112 - I'd drive all the children to school. There, in the bright summer days, Stretched on the sward I would be, And gaze to the west on Blaven's crest, Towering above the sea; And I'd watch the billowing mist Rolling down his mighty side, While up from the shore would come evermore The music of the tide. And when the sun sinks to his rest, "Mid glory of...
Pàgina 330 - When we had ascended about a mile," says another writer, "one of the party, on looking round, was so astonished with the different appearance of objects in the valley so far beneath us that he declined proceeding. We had not gone much further till the other companion was suddenly taken ill and wished to loose blood and return.
Pàgina 111 - Where the blue /Egean smiles, But give to me the Scottish sea, That breaks round the Western Isles ! Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, I would see them before I die ; But I'd rather not see any one of the three, Than be exiled for ever from Skye...
Pàgina 111 - ... the Western Isles ! Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, I would see them before I die ; But I'd rather not see any one of the three, Than be exiled for ever from Skye ! What are the wonders there, Stranger, dost ask of me ? What is there not, I reply like a Scot, For him who hath eyes to see ? But if you're a delicate man, And of wetting your skin are shy, I'd have you know, before you go, You had better not think of Skye...
Pàgina 29 - Thou know'st it well — nor fen nor sedge Pollute the pure lake's crystal edge; Abrupt and sheer, the mountains sink At once upon the level brink; And just a trace of silver sand Marks where the water meets the land. Far in the mirror, bright and blue Each hill's huge outline you may view; Shaggy with heath, but lonely bare, Nor tree, nor bush, nor brake is there, Save where, of land, yon slender line Bears thwart the lake the scatter'd pine.
Pàgina 112 - And, rising out of the main, You there shall see the Maidens three, Like Choosers of the Slain ; And go wherever you may With a new and deep surprise, The Coolin blue will fill your view, And fix your gazing eyes. Were I a Sovereign Prince, Or Professor at large in vacation, I'd build me a tower in the Isle of Skye, At the expense of the Nation ; And there, like a Sea-King, I'd reign, But with a more gentle rule ; I'd harry no cattle, nor slay any man, But I'd drive all the children to school ! There,...
Pàgina 125 - ... of a scene that will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to witness it.
