It was in this deep cell that Byron's ideal prisoner, Bonnivard, was chained. In his own mournful but beautiful language he says : " And then there was a little isle Which to my very face did smile, The only one in view ; A small green isle, it seemed no more, Scarce broader than my dungeon floor ; OK, SIX MONTHS IN EUROPE. 87 But in it there were three tall trees, And o'er it blew the mountain breeze, And by it there were waters flowing, And on it there were young flowers growing Of gentle bre...ath and hue. " The description is perfect, for just opposite the castle, and near the mouth of the Rhone, there is this pretty little isle, no larger than " a dungeon floor, " with only three trees on it, and covered with flowers. It is much resorted to by tourists. On one of the columns of the castle dungeon, Byron has carved his name ; Dickens has carved his, and John Smith, Bottle Green Jones, etc. , have carved theirs. The Castle of Chillon is now used by the Swiss as a magazine for military stores.
