Excerpt from A Descriptive and Historical Sketch of Beddgelert and Its Neighbourhood Many exquisite subjects present themselves both to the painter and to the poet. Mountains that seem like the barriers of a world, inaccessible peaks and precipices, fairy glens, enamelled fields, meandering rivulets, expansive lakes, - all are here, and all breathe enchantment. They fill the mind by turns with awe and ecstacy. They bear us away to the land of dreams. Indeed, there is no fiction which ou-a spot so rich in all kinds of beauty, and in all kinds of grandeur, the imagina tion cannot readily supply. From this realm of overpowering wonders, it is with difficulty that we withdraw our gaze; but let it be once seen, and it is impressed upon the recollection for ever.
