216 BY FELL AND FJOKD. difficult to follow. I have always believed in some link between the impressions made by scenery and by music—the one suggests the other. If the Italian landscape is like Mozart, infinitely varied, sometimes grand and sometimes gay, but always above all things lovely, and with an evident loveliness; and if in Switzer- land the sublimity and sweetness correspond in art to Beethoven, —then we may take Iceland as the type in nature of the music of the moderns—say Schumann, at his oddest and wildest; smaller in some ways, and more subjective, needing more from the ob- server, and yet with a suggestive wistful beauty of its own, with something of weird sublimity about it, and" also quaint disso- nances. It may be that in landscape, as in music, much is now admired of which the beauty is recondite and subtle, a reaction from the vulgarising of more obvious loveliness—such as is in music ground on barrel-organs, or in landscapes daubed on coal- boxes. There is a little wanderlied by Rheinberger that used often to run in my head from beginning to end, as a perfect accompaniment to the tramp of our ponies over the waste lands. Besides the rhythm, the music suggests something adventurous, mysterious, and with a touch about it of gloom. Once when riding alone, like one of the knights or ladies in the 1 Morte d’Arthur,’ “ over waste lands and morasses, following no path but such as strange adventure led me,” I saw, on the opposite side of a wide cleft or gil, a solitary girl on foot. A great torrent was foaming noisily below in the gil, deadening all sound except the clear sort (or hail) which she called across the water to me: behind her lay wastes of purple-black lava-rock, rising in jagged points against the eternal snows of a long mountain-range. A lake lay near, reflecting great stones and rushes in its quiet grey water, but all that stirred was the brawl- ing river which rushed between us. I put the solitary girl, to the best of my power, in a framework of Icelandic scenery and its sentiment as it appears to me. And here she is: for whatever errand she was after, she would probably not object to being be- rhymed in any way, so much are the people here still addicted to verse-making upon all occasions.
