Trang 8 - ... young Italian procured a little villa, where he had the pleasure of hearing the tolling of his bells from the convent cliff, and of growing old in the bosom of domestic happiness. ' This, however, was not to continue. In some of those broils, whether civil or foreign, which are the undying worm in the peace of a fallen land, the good -Italian was a sufferer amongst many.

Trang 43 - O'Conor, the defender and supporter of his own province, and of his friends on every side; the expeller and plunderer of his foes, — a man full of hospitality, prowess, and renown; the exalter of the clerical orders and men of science; a worthy materies of a king of Ireland, for his nobility, personal shape, heroism, wisdom, clemency, and truth, died after the victory of [extreme] ' unction' and penance, in the Monastery of the Dominican Friars of Roscommon, which he himself had granted to God...
Trang 11 - I do not at this moment recollect any example of more attractive river scenery. The wide, deep, clear river is, for more than a quarter of a mile, almost a cataract; and this, to an English eye, must be particularly striking. It is only in the streams and rivulets of England, that rapids are found : the larger rivers, generally glide smoothly on without impediments from rocks : the Thames, Trent, Mersey, and...
Trang 11 - ... from rocks : the Thames, Trent, Mersey, and Severn, when they lose the character of streams, and become rivers, hold a noiseless course; but the Shannon, larger than all the four, here pours that immense body of water, which above the rapids is forty feet deep, and three hundred yards wide, through and above a congregation of huge stones and rocks, which extend nearly half a mile ; and offers not only an unusual scene, but a spectacle approaching much nearer to the sublime, than any moderate-sized...
Trang 8 - His hair grew grey and his heart withered before he again found a home and a friend. In this desolation of spirit he formed the resolution of seeking the place to which those treasures of his memory had been finally borne. He sailed for Ireland, proceeded up the Shannon ; the vessel anchored in the pool near Limerick, and he hired a small boat for the purpose of landing.

Home, happiness, early recollections, friends, family— all were in the sound, And went with it to his heart. When the rowers looked round, they beheld him with his face still turned toward the cathedral; but his eyes were closed, and, when they landed — they found him cold ! Such are the associations, which the ringing of St.
