Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 20: July-December, 1826 Nar Stranger I smile not at this little dome, Albeit quaint, and with no nice regard To highest rules of grace and symmetry, Plaything of art, it venture thus to stand 'mid the great forms of Nature. Doth it A vain intruder in the niet heart Of this majestic Lake, t t like an arm Of Ocean, or some Indian river vast, In beauty floats amid its guardian hills 3 Haply it may yet in this humble tower. The mimicry of loftier edifice, There lives a silent spirit, that confers A lasting charter on its sportive wreath Of battlements, amid the mountain-calm To stand as proudly, as you giant rock That with his shadow Ms the dazzling lake!
