An islet in an inland sea.
XIV And now, to issue from the glen,
255 No pathway meets the wanderer's ken,
Unless he climb, with footing nice,note
A far projecting precipice.
The broom's tough roots his ladder made,
The hazel saplings lent their aid;
260 And thus an airy point he won,
Where, gleaming with the setting sun,
One burnished sheet of living gold,
Loch Katrine lay beneath him rolled,
In all her length far winding lay,
265 With promontory, creek, and bay,
And island that, empurpled bright,
Floated amid the livelier light,
And mountains, that like giants stand,
To sentinel enchanted land.
270 High on the south, huge Benvenue
Down on the lake in masses threw
Crags, knolls, and mounds, confusedly hurled,
[Pg 70] The fragments of an earlier world;
A wildering forest feathered o'er

This long poem with six cantos with many long parts. Each canto depicts a single day. Three men vie for the love of Ellen Douglas. However, feuds are present and the Highland clans and lowland Scots war against one another. My favorite parts of the poem are not the portions dealing with feuds or war
Compared with his previous narrative poem, Marmion, this effort is much more readable, understandable and thus, enjoyable. Still, I do not find it surprising that Scott henceforth largely switched to prose, and began his highly successful series of Waverley novels.
It would appear that his major moti
As a result of a feud between her father and King James, Ellen Douglas must live a secluded life in hiding on a small island in a Scottish loch. There she meets the mysterious James Fitz-James, a knight who has lost his hunting party in the highlands. Ellen is distressed by the romantic intentions o
I found the copy of this book that I have under a floor board in our barn. The copyright is 1882 and there are notes written all through it in an old-style cursive from a student that was apparently studying the book at school.
I love the description .. each seperate sonnet or poem takes you to new
This is a beautiful romantic poem in the midst of the rivalry of James the fifth and the Clan of Douglas in Scottland. It was originally printed in 1810. In this version there are explanitary notes and a wonderful introduction which explains the times in which this was written to better understand t
The Lady of the Lake is a narrative poem set in the Trossachs region of Scotland. There are three main plots going at once: the constant war between the high and lowland Scots (the "Gaels" and "Saxons"), a battle between three men to win the heart of the young and alluring Ellen Douglas, and the feu
