"Painful reminiscences were multiplying rapidly within me. I held them in abeyance for the moment, and raised my eyes again. Far beyond (thought I), are the professors of the Reformed Faith, dwelling amidst the spiritual mercies of God's choicest dispensations. True, that to the summit of God's ways the finite faculties of mortal man may not aspire; yet do they till the garden, and climb the everlasting hills, where she sheep of the flock crop the 'green pastures, which refresh the soul.' Thus what men call Nature, has its limits - thus the cold blast of God's displeasure chills the unauthorized researches of the vain presumptuous sons of earth - 'So far shalt thou go, and no farther, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed.' Or do the bare peaks represent the real nakedness of a Church, which rears her apostate head so high? and yonder mists betoken the cloud of error which priestcraft spreads to darken counsel? 'Arise, Oh God,' I exclaimed, 'and let thine enemies be scattered - let them also that hate thee, flee before thee."

Virgin eternity sleeping in the mind,
Excites the form of prayer without content;
Whitehorn lightens, delicate and blind,
The negro mountain, and so, knelt on her sod,
This woman beside me murmuring My God! My God!”

“It was six o’clock in the evening
Robert sat looking over the lake
Seeing the green islands that were his morning hope
And his evening despair.
The sharp knife of Jansen
Cuts all the green branches,
Not sunlight comes in
But the hot-iron sin
Branding the shame
Of a beast in the Name
Of Christ on the breast
Of a child of the West
It was this he had read.
All day he was smitten
By this foul legend written
In the fields, in the skies,
In the sanctuaries,
But now the green tree
Of humanity
Was leafing again
Forgiveness of sin.
A shading hand over
The brow of the lover.”

“The rusty cross of St. Patrick had a dozen
Devotees clustered around it at four o’clock.
Bare knees were going round Saint Brendan’s Bed.
A boy was standing like a ballet dancer poised on the rock
Under the belfry; he stared over at Donegal
Where the white houses on the side of the hills
Popped up like mushrooms in September.
The sun was smiling on a thousand hayfields
That hour, and he must have thought Lough Derg
More unreasonable than ordinary stone.
Perhaps it was an iceberg
That he had glanced at on his journey from Japan.
But the iceberg filled a glass of water
And poured it to the honour of the sun.”

“They watched the lake waves clapping cold hands together
And saw the morning breaking as it breaks
Over a field where a man is watching a calving cow.
New life, new day.
A half-pilgrim saw it as a rabbiter
Poaching in wood sees
Primeval magic among the trees.”

"Though the number of bogs in this district is considerable, yet few of them reach to any great extent. Those at present used have been but lately entered upon and consequently contain a great quantity of fir and oak.

"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."

"There is a lake called Lough Derg in County Donegal which has acquired extraordinary fame both in Christian history and in general literature. Natural beauty, however, does not account for that renown, as austerity is the character of the scene. Situated in the south-eastern tip of the county, this expanse of water is not even enhanced by nearness to the celebrated coast-line. The lake is extensive, six miles by four miles in area, and surrounded by low, heather-clad mountains, mostly unrelieved by either trees or cultivation, unremarkable in contour, forming a landscape that is usually a monotonous monochrome of either brown or grey tints. There is nothing to allure the eye here and no scenery in the accepted sense."

"The only picturesque object I observed, as we rowed towards shore, was a little island in the centre of the Lough, on which there was a hut. It was an interesting object for the eye to rest on, as the only human habitation within the whole scope of vision in the vicinity of Lough Derg—all else around its shores, waste and desolation ; and it immediately struck me that this little cabin, on this speck of an island, was the solitary cell of some devoted ascetic. But on inquiry, I found from my companions in the boat, that it was no such thing—it was built by a poteen distiller; and there occasionally, and to answer the demands of the resorting pilgrims, he provides a supply of that article, which seems intimately connected with the devotions of the lower classes of the Irish Roman Catholics; from north to south, wherever I observed a holy well, or holy station, there was always adjoining some place for the sale of strong liquors—yes, even now, wherever piety erects a new chapel, cupidity soon sees the gain of constructing a public house."
