In a handful of others "Lochiel," the exquisite lines on "A Deserted Garden in Argyleshire," with, for some flashes at least, the rather over-famed "Exile of Erin," "Lord Ullin's Daughter," and a few more he also displays very high, though rather unequal and by no means unalloyed, poetical faculty; and "The Last Man," which, by the way, is the latest of his good things, is not the least.
"Oh, well, you may suppose that I am not yet quite dead!" The next day the child was asked, in class, to explain the passive voice, and said, "It's the kind of voice you speak with when you ain't quite dead." In such a case as this the illustration ought to have been more varied. I remember being greatly moved emotionally at the age of eight by the ballad of Lord Ullin's Daughter.
And I'll give thee a silver pound, To row us o'er the ferry." Lord Ullin's Daughter. The sky had been without a cloud during the day, the gale having been dry and piercing, and thousands of stars were now shining through a chill atmosphere. As the eye, therefore, became accustomed to the change of light, it obtained a more distinct view of surrounding objects.
For instance, in "Lord Ullin's Daughter," she could keep on with her knitting and at the same time do "the horsemen hard behind us ride," by clapping her heels on the hearth to sound like hoof-beats. Acting came as naturally to Georgina as breathing. She could not repeat the simplest message without unconsciously imitating the tone and gesture of the one who sent it.
Peter Walsh upset the Tortoise on purpose I now think but no one else has said so yet and Lord Torrington swam for his life while his lovely daughter wrung her lily hands in shrill despair, this being the exact opposite of what was the case with Lord Ullin's daughter. Joseph Antony Kinsella and Jimmy and I rescued the drowning mariner in your boat.
"'Oh I'm the chief of Ulva's Isle, and this Lord Ullin's daughter. You know that poem, I suppose." "I've known it for years," said Miss Rutherford. "Well, thats it," said Priscilla. "You have the whole thing now." "I see," said Miss Rutherford, "I see it all now, or almost all. This is far better than spies. How did you ever think of it?" "It's true," said Priscilla.
When a young minister from Muirtown stamped twice in his prayer at the Drumtochty Fast, and preached with great eloquence from the words, "And there was no more sea," repeating the text at the end of each paragraph, and concluding the sermon with "Lord Ullin's Daughter," the atmosphere round Lachlan became electric, and no one dared to speak to him outside.
Arethusa brightened up. Here, she felt more at home. She could certainly learn Poetry! In fact, she had no need to learn it, for she already knew quite a lot. It contained a great deal of Scott and Burns, and many long-delightful ballads such as "Lord Ullin's Daughter," and "The Cruel Sister," as well as Irish melodies that charmed with their plaintive atmosphere.
There were declamations from the third and fourth readers, "How big was Alexander, Pa?" and "He never smiled again," and "Lord Ullin's Daughter," and Maggie Loper held the audience spell-bound by an entirely new one, which Elvira had selected and copied for her out of a book of poems, "The Dream of Eugene Aram."
The bridge was washed away; there was no boat; Miss P had taken the only horse to go to Honolulu. Whoever went must ford the river. Like Lord Ullin's daughter, who would meet the raging of the skies, but not an angry father, I was less afraid to go than to stay, and volunteered to bring Pai-ku-li.
