As you pass on, the eye becomes almost tired with the endless succession of grim and ghastly human figures of distorted limbs of preternatural beasts, birds, and fishes of dragons, centaurs, and intertwined snakes of uncouth vehicles, and warlike instruments, and mystic-looking symbols of chains of interlaced knots and complex zigzags, all so crowding on each other that the tired eye feels as if it had run through a procession of Temptations of St Anthony or Faust Sabbaths.
The broad, molten-like surface; the dusky idealizing of the lines of cottages and delicate silhouetting of the trees along the shore near them; the artistic picture of the old white farm-house, mystic-looking in the soft evening light, with its shapes of lilac-trees rioting about it and the three great oaks darkening the bank in front; the ghost of light along the distant horizon; the gentle coolness of the air; the occasional far-off echo of some cry; and the regular splash and gleam of the oars as they leave the water or dip gently in again.
