Excerpt from Poems In 1796, which is also the date of this boyish attachment, Byron, on recovering from scarlet-fever, was removed, for the benefit of the country air, from Aberdeen to a farm-house near Ballater. The bed in which Byron slept is still shown in the farm-house, and a short walk brings the worshipper of genius to Dark Loch nagar. The mountain scenery of other lands always recalled' to him that of Scotland and the recollected innocence and peace amid which he had viewed the latter, formed a chief element of his delight in contemplating the former. In The Island, a poem written only a year or two before his death, he thus expounds his love of the most stupendous or most classic mountain scenes: But 'twas not all long ages' lore, nor all Their nature, held me in their thrilling thrall; The infant rapture still survived the boy, And Lochnagar with Ida looked o'er Troy.
