To this, then, myself and a few of my companions bent our oars; we eflected a landing, after some labour — again we touched our mother earth — we prostrated ourselves on it. Our hearts were too full for utterance; we speeded our way up a narrow- ravine, walled on either side by bold and jutting rocks, roofed, as it were, by the arching branches of luxuriant trees : we passed on ; new charms disclosed themselves; vegetation breathed spon- taneously around, yet not with the rankness of desertion ...; our steps became more hurried, our pulses beat quicker, and the large drops stood on our burning brows; our eyeballs seemed to stretch and look forth with extended sight; our lips were parched, yet we stopped not to quench our thirst. We listened for the sound of man; but God, and God alone, was here. It was an awful feeling this unbroken, V TALE OF THE SEA. 129 untouched solitude. All was still, save the Ijo-ht breeze amono; the rustling^ branches, the distant roar of the ocean, and the sweet soft murmur of the cooling brooks which occa- sionally interrupted our path, as they rippled along the woodland recesses.
