Página 77 - In the elliptic arch of the door, there is a prismatic lantern of variously tinted glass, containing two large lamps with their reflectors. The light they shed resembles that of a volcano, gloomily glaring.

Página 91 - Mid the forest's inmost gloom, Thy daughter, circling thrice thy tomb, With mystic rites of thrilling power Disturbs thee at this midnight hour I I, thy Sauferlama's child, Of my filial right beguil'd, Now adjure thee to resign The charmed Sword by birth-right mine ! When the Dwarf on Eyvor's plain, Dim glided by thy marriage-train, In jewel'd belt of gorgeous pride, To thy pale and trembling bride, Gave he not, in whisper deep, That dread companion...
