# A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland/Chapter 13

FORT AUGUSTUS.
In the morning we viewed the fort, which is much less than that of St. George, ​and is said to be commanded by the neighbouring hills. It was not long ago taken by the Highlanders. But its situation seems well chosen for pleasure, if not for strength; it stands at the head of the lake, and, by a sloop of sixty tuns, is supplied from Inverness with great convenience.
We were now to cross the Highlands towards the western coast, and to content ourselves with such accommodations, as a way so little frequented could afford. The journey was not formidable, for it was but of two days, very unequally divided, because the only house, where we could be entertained, was not further off than a third of the way. We soon came to a high hill, which we mounted by a military road, cut in traverses, so that as we went upon a higher stage, we saw the baggage following us below in a contrary direction. To make this way, the rock has been hewn to a level with labour that might have ​broken the perseverance of a Roman legion.
The country is totally denuded of its wood, but the stumps both of oaks and firs, which are still found, shew that it has been once a forest of large timber. I do not remember that we saw any animals, but we were told that, in the mountains, there are stags, roebucks, goats and rabbits.
We did not perceive that this tract was possessed by human beings, except that once we saw a corn field, in which a lady was walking with some gentlemen. Their house was certainly at no great distance, but so situated that we could not descry it.
Passing on through the dreariness of solitude, we found a party of soldiers from the fort, working on the road, under the superintendence of a serjeant. We told ​them how kindly we had been treated at the garrison, and as we were enjoying the benefit of their labours, begged leave to shew our gratitude by a small present.

# A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland/Chapter 17

GLENELG.
We left Auknasheals and the Macraes its the afternoon, and in the evening came to Ratiken, a high hill on which a road is cut, but so steep and narrow, that it is very difficult. There is now a design of making another way round the bottom. Upon one of the precipices, my horse, weary with the steepness of the rise, staggered a little, ​and I called in haste to the Highlander to hold him. This was the only moment of my journey, in which I thought myself endangered.
Having surmounted the hill at last, we were told that at Glenelg, on the sea-side, we should come to a house of lime and slate and glass. This image of magnificence raised our expectation. At last we came to our inn weary and peevish, and began to inquire for meat and beds.
Of the provisions the negative catalogue was very copious. Here was no meat, no milk, no bread, no eggs, no wine. We did not express much satisfaction. Here however we were to stay. Whisky we might have, and I believe at last they caught a fowl and killed it. We had some bread, and with that we prepared ourselves to be contented, when we had a very eminent proof of Highland hospitality. Along ​some miles of the way, in the evening, a gentleman's servant had kept us company on foot with very little notice on our part. He left us near Glenelg, and we thought on him no more till he came to us again, in about two hours, with a present from his master of rum and sugar. The man had mentioned his company, and the gentleman, whose name, I think, is Gordon, well knowing the penury of the place, had this attention to two men, whose names perhaps he had not heard, by whom his kindness was not likely to be ever repaid, and who could be recommended to him only by their necessities.
We were now to examine our lodging. Out of one of the beds, on which we were to repose, started up, at our entrance, a man black as a Cyclops from the forge. Other circumstances of no elegant recital concurred to disgust us. We had been frighted by a lady at Edinburgh, with ​discouraging representations of Highland lodgings. Sleep, however, was necessary. Our Highlanders had at last found some hay, with which the inn could not supply them. I directed them to bring a bundle into the room, and slept upon it in my riding coat. Mr. Boswell being more delicate, laid himself sheets with hay over and under him, and lay in linen like a gentleman.

TO AMELIA READ,
ON HER THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY.
Oh, yet in the happiest season!
Oh, yet in thine hour of spring!
Like a flower in its opening beauty,
Like a bird on its sunniest wing,
Still thou art in the gladness of morning,
In the freshness of earliest May:
No mockery to thee are our wishes—
Many happy returns of the day!
Fair child of the East,* may thy future
Be bright as the land of thy birth,
Where the sky has the clearest of sunlight,
And the richest of roses have birth!
May the storms which sweep there in darkness
Never roll o'er thy gentler way,
Nor cause to lament that we wished thee
Many happy returns of the day!L. E. L.

STANZAS.
By Miss Landon.
———Oh, never did the sky,
Colour’d with sunset, wear so many hues
As the heart wears, fill'd with the changeful thoughts
That haunt its loneliness!
I pray thee, do not speak to me
 Of any other hour,—
The past, for that can never be
 Again within my power.
The future—what avails to raise
 A world we cannot guide?
Our coming, like our former days,
 Will roll a mingled tide.
Life but repeats its joy or pain—
 Rebuilds its shrine o'erthrown;
We feel what we have felt again,
 And known what we have known.
The plaything of the child but wears
 A graver shape or name;
Whate'er the seeming that it bears,
 Its spirit is the same.
I will not hope—I will forget,
 My heart's depths are unstirr'd;
On memory a seal is set,
 And Hope is a caged bird.
The present—let it be my all
 Of pleasure, or of care,
Wreathe the red wreath—seek the bright hall,
 The glad are gather'd there.
Now out upon my own false words!
 Would I forget the past?
No, by the memory of those chords
 Whose lot with it is cast!
The future—have I there no scope?
 Aye! by my dearest aim,
That which has been my life's best hope—
 A poet's haunted name.
Music, which makes the singer's death
 Sweet as the song's own close;
I do not ask a laurel wreath,
 I ask it of the rose.
I will not hope—I will forget,
 Oh, foolish words and void!
Life were indeed a vain regret,
 If they could be destroy'd.
I cannot choose but hope and fear,
 And paint the future's hue,
While those my soul holds very dear,
 Must share that future too.
Forget! love where my heart has clung,
 Kindness—which but to name
The tears within my eyes have sprung,
 As if to own the claim.
Forget! Oh, not a single word
 Which took affection's tone;
Not one kind wish I ever heard,
 And answer'd with my own.
It was a vain and selfish mood,
 Which now my mind o’ercast; In silence and in solitude,
 The cloud has from me past.
There's many a string within the heart,
 As there is on the lute;
It jars their music's sweetest part,
 If any chord be mute.
As the wild waves of ocean glide,
 And life's deep waters flow;
Hope's foambells dance upon the tide,
 And memory's pearls below.
L. E. L.

GIFTS FOR THE PAST.
By L. E. L.
The past—now what shall we give the past?
Oh, give it tears.
For the sorrows that heavily shadows cast
O'er our early years:
For friends that are friends to us no more,
For the grief behind, and the gloom before:
For love that is weeping beside the grave,
It will perish by those whom it could not save—
Long may it mourn over those beneath,
Lingering a life that is worse than death;
For brief is the reign of the sunny hour,
Long is that of the shade, and the shower:
For pleasures in which we no more take part,
For weariness lying like frost on the heart,
For an earth worn out—a sky o'ercast,
The past—now what shall we give the past?
Oh, give it tears.
The past—now what shall we give the past?
Oh, give it smiles.
For falsehood, which, ending in truth at last,
No more beguiles:
For the pleasures from which we turn aside,
For the friends whose flattery we now deride—
They came to our side in the leaf and the flower,
They all fell off in the winter hour:
For hopes that are colourless now and dead,
Down at our feet in the dust that we tread;
And we marvel that ever we lighted our way
With hues so painted and false as they:
For all the deceits we have seen depart,
For the scorn which fills and hardens the heart,
For the knowledge so harshly acquired at last,
The past—now what shall we give the past?
Oh, give it smiles.
The past—now what shall we give the past?
Forgetfulness.
Oh, for some blessedness veil to cast
O'er the thoughts which press
The heavy heart, wearied and worn,
With all it bears, and all it has borne.
We will think no more of the friends of our youth;
Folly that ever we trusted their truth!
Perish the hopes that never again
Can soothe or solace—delude or sustain.
Think no more of the love which is fled
Afar with the faithless, or deep with the dead.
All that has ever beguiled or betray'd,
Mute be its memory, deep be its shade.
For all the flowers it to earth has cast,
The past—Oh! what shall we give the past?
Forgetfulness.
