Page 204 - If I go to the opera where Signora Columba pours out all the mazes of melody; I sit and sigh for Lishoy fireside, and Johnny Armstrong's Last Good Night from Peggy Golden.
Page 204 - Charles came hither, my thoughts sometimes found refuge from severer studies among my friends in Ireland. I fancied strange revolutions at home; but I find it was the rapidity of my own motion that gave an imaginary one to objects really at rest.
Page 223 - The scenery of Ma'am is fine, very fine. If a lake filled the hollow of the mountains, Killarney might tremble for its supremacy ; for the outline of the mountain range surpasses in picturesque form any of the ranges that bound the lakes of Killarney.

Page 173 - I lighted a bit of paper, at the embers of a turf which lay in the chimney, and looked in. It was a cellar wholly dark ; and about twelve feet square : two bundles of straw lay in two corners ; on one, sat a bedridden...
Page 94 - Blackwater, hoth above and below the bridge which leads into the town, flows through one of the most verdant of valleys, just wide enough to show its greenness and fertility ; and diversified by noble single trees, and fine groups. The banks bounding this valley, are in some places thickly covered, in other places, lightly shaded with wood. Then, there is the bridge itself, and the castle — grey and massive, with its ruined and ivy-grown...
