"[Lough Derg] is almost inaccessible by Horsemen, even in Summer, because of great Bogs, Rocks, and Precipices with which it is environed on all Sides. Such dismal and loansom Places are very apt to make frightful and melancholy Impessions upon the Minds for Weak and Ignorant; and, therefore, it is very probably, that it was pitched upon, as a convenient Place for passing so grand an Imposture upon them."

"There is no grandeur in the surrounding scenery ; everywhere is the same wilderness of heather, the same dreary moorland hills — no variety in their outline, no steep cliff or bold escarpment to vary the scene, not even a single patch of green to relieve the eye, except in one comer where there is a small, paralysed plantation of stunted Scotch firs. Not a living thing was to be seen — neither man nor beast nor game on the mountains, nor bird on the lake. I was, however, told afterwards that hares and moor-fowl do contrive to live there, and a certain kind of small, mountain sheep with long horns and black faces, a leg of whose mutton a hungry man might easily dispose of at a single meal. So much for fauna. There was no flora except moss and heather. In fact, nature here clothes herself in sackcloth and ashes ; the very aspect of the place induces solemn thought, and makes it meetest shrine for penance. It seemed to me, too, that the bare, whitewashed houses on the 'Station Island' were utterly out of tone with nature's wild surroundings. Seeing no person to apply to, and unwilling to return with my task unaccomplished, I resolved to try and reach the island myself in a boat which I found on the shore. I had nearly succeeded, when the freshening breeze compelled me to desist, and I was very glad to find rest and shelter under the lea of a kind of insular promontory, connected with the shore by a narrow ford, where, fortunately, I was discovered by the owners of the boat, who rowed me up to the island in the teeth of a very stiff wind."

The negro mountain, and so, knelt on her sod,
This woman beside me murmuring My God! My God!”

“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.”

“They knelt and prayed and rose and prayed
And circled the crosses and kissed the stones
Never looking away from the brimstone bitterness
To the little islands of Pan held in the crooked elbow of the lake,
They closed their eyes to Donegal and the white houses
On the slope of the northern hills
And these pilgrims of a western reason
Were not pursuing French-hot miracles
There were hundreds of them tripping one another
Upon the pilgrim way (Oh God of Truth
Keep him who tells this story straight,
Let no cheap insincerity shape his mouth).
These men and boys were not led there
By priests of Maynooth or stories of Italy or Spain
For this is the penance of the poor
Who knows what beauty hides in misery
As beggars, fools and fakirs know.”

"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."

"The Pettigo river rises about 5 miles north of Pettigo and runs in a southerly direction about a mile north of the village. It receives the tributary waters of the Omna, which rises in the mountains near Lough Derg and runs in a south easterly direction. After this junction the united stream passes through Pettigo and falls into Lough Erne about a mile south of that place."

"Of mountains and hills there is a great number. The whole face of the country indeed consists of hills separated by narrow valleys. These hills are unusually denominated from the townlands in which they are situated. The most considerable are Crocknacunny, Mindilpier, Croaghbrack and Rusheen. Overrun as they are with heath, they are pasturable to a certain degree, being covered in summer with considerable herds of black cattle. Cultivation had during the last war crept up their sides to a good height but, through the low prices of agricultural products and the bad prospect of remuneration, has since reverted again to the vales."
