James Spencer Knox

"A rock, which, rising to the surface of the water, the breeze had exposed"

"A spreading hawthorn tree"

"He had swallowed up a very wicked man"

"I insisted that they should take me to an island"

"So ended my pilgrimage to Lough Derg"

"They told the marvellous incidents of the voyage to their listening friends"

"They would make a Jonas of me against my will"

"What we saw was the great serpent or fish"

"A lonely and remote region"

"A miracle! - A miracle!"

"All was as still as death"

"An incredible quantity of rags"

"I at length reached the goal of my long-nourished desire"

"I gazed on the distant borders of the Lake"

"I had long experienced extreme anxiety to visit"

"Multitudes of the lower classes of the native Irish"

"So far shalt thou go, and no farther, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed"

"So long as the Church of Rome finds dupes"

"The lake itself changes its wonted blue into a dull brown colour"

"The pilgrims throng the shore opposite to the island"

"The unbroken stillness of this consecrated spot, was exchanged to bustle, noise, and jarring, of a countless multitude"
