Station Island and its reflection

The Oratory, Station Island

"A mountain-locked lake that is just as secluded to-day as when Saint Patrick was attracted to its solitude"

"All around it is the glint and stir of water"

"A landscape that is usually a monotonous monochrome of either brown or grey tints"

"Floating on some miracle raft"

"High, bleak, purple mountains"

"Rolling, tawny bogland framed the blue water"

"Suddenly the far-famed waters of Lough Derg appear close at hand"
