"All was as still as death, save that on one or two wave-worn rocks, sat as many old women, telling their beads with exemplary devotion. Their conceptions of piety extended to alms asking, in which exercise they appeared not to be novices; but in my instance they were rather deserving, than successful; and to the honour of their memory be it related, their demonstrations of disappointment were moderate and noiseless."

"But the breeze gradually dropped. Large splashes of calm, glazy-looking water appeared here and there, spreading by little and little over the whole surface, while the rises became more and more infrequent, and, before a dozen fish had been caught, ceased altogether. Slievan had fairly given it up, and was asleep with his mouth open at the bottom of the boat ; and M'Gowan was putting the finishing touches to some buzz-flies which he had been making ever since the boat had left the Purgatory ; the lines were still cast across the water, but lazily and mechanically, — the thoughts of the fishermen were evidently elsewhere."

"Lough Derg has certainly been well chosen as a spot of religious penitence and seclusion, for the character of its scenery harmonises well with such a feeling; it is that of wild and gloomy loneliness. There are no trees to be seen, and very little cultivation of any kind. It is surrounded by heavy, round-headed mountains, or rather gigantic hills, covered with heather, which, with its red stalks and purple blossoms, casts a dull, dusky, red reflexion on the water, and gives to the lake its name. There are a few islands besides the Purgatory, and these are not without their beauty ; but they are still of the same wild, savage character as the coasts, — rocky, heath-covered, and abounding in myrica and arbutus."

"Of woods, nurseries or plantations [Templecarn] is at present completely destitute, thought there is every appearance of it having been formerly well supplied with timber. To iron works formerly carried on in the neighbourhood, the present bare appearance of the country is chiefly to be ascribed. There are few orchards and these very diminutive indeed. From the few samples that are to be met with, it is to be presumed that reeds would thrive tolerably well. Oak, ash, poplars seem to suit the climate best, as also all the different species of fir, Scotch and larch particularly."

"The author of the following brief sketch, on first receiving a copy of the statistical queries, was for a considerable time in doubt whether to forward any answer to the inquiries proposed. The barren subject on which he was invited to communicate his knowledge and observations presented an appalling obstacle to a successful execution of such a project. Meagre and dry to the last degree must appear the description of a region where the hand of nature, severely parsimonious, has been very niggardly aided by the ingenuity of art of the tasteful design of scientific industry. Beautiful indeed and picturesque in many places the scenery must appear to the eye of the poet, but when considered in an agricultural, commercial or manufacturing point of view, it presents a spectacle little fitted to captivate the fancy of the theoretical or invite the labours of the practical improver."

"The repetition of the baptismal vow [before St. Brigid's Cross] is a reaching back again towards baptismal innocence and is the usual ritual of retreats. But here in the special circumstances it takes on an entirely new meaning. Recited in the open, while facing the airy spaciousness of mountain, sky and water, the pilgrim has the impression of having reached some complete solitude, despite the fact that there is probably a queue of people awaiting their turn beside him."

"Whether the pilgrim to St. Patrick's Purgatory knows it or not, he is a sort of Rip Van Winkle whose experience is reversed: he finds himself catapulted back from the twentieth century into the fifth. If he goes there for the first time, he is on a voyage of discovery in which he will gain experiential knowledge of the past, not merely in his mind but in his very body. The Patrician age endures on the island and fifteen hundred years are almost as though they had never been. Unrivaled peace and isolation give him complete freedom to savour this experience."
