ADDRESS TO KILCHURN CASTLE, UPON LOCH AWE. From the lop of the hill a most impressive scene opened upon our view, — a ruined Castle on an Island (for an Island tlie flood liad made it) at some distance from tlie shore, backed by a Cove of tlie Mountain Cruachan, down which came a foaminsi stream. The Castle occupied every foot of the Island that was vijible to us, appearing to rise out of the water, — mists rested upon the mouutam side, with sjwts of sunshine ; liiere was a mild desolation in t...he low jirounds, a so'emn grandeur in the mountains, and the Castle wa$ wild, yet stately— not dismantled of tur- rets — nor the walls broken down, thtrtigh o')« viously a ruin." — Extract frotn the yourual 0/ )ny Cojnpanion. Child of loud-throated War ! the mountain Stream Roars in thy hearing ; but thy hour of rest Is come, and thou art silent in thy age ; Save when the wind sweeps by and sounds are caught Ambiguous, neither wholly thine nor theirs. Oh ! there is life that breathes not ; Powers there are That touch each otherto theciuickin modes, Which the gross world 110 sense hath to perceive, No soul to dream of.
