Excerpt from New Lights; Or Life in Galway: A Tale
Far; away in the extreme west of Ireland when the waters of Lough Corrib re?ect the changeful hues of that ever-changing sky, there is a large, straggling village running up along the bank of a rivulet, from near the shore of the lake, for a dis tance of nearly two miles. This village, which we shall call Killany, though having in itself little to interest the traveller, is still a desirable sojoun hr the summer months, while the grass is on the fields and the blue is on the sky.'' The country around is, indeed, beautiful, though somewhat wild in its character, for the mountains of Connemara stand like giant sentinels in the neighborhood, receding from the inland view in many a grand perspective. Above the village, at a little distance.
