between fragments of rocks, and is precipitated in white foam,
among trunks of trees, along the whole of the front. A few
bushy trees cover the sides of the mountain on the right,
and a castle is visible on the summit of the most distant hill
on the left. An overcast sky sheds a sombre hue over the
scene.

diversified with water and distant woodlands; and is composed,
on the left, of a lofty rocky hill, whose summit is partly
covered with bushy trees, sheltering two rustic houses. A
stream glides through a chasm in the rock, and falls in a
cataract on the fore-ground, along which it extends among
loose stones. A broken beech tree lies across the stream, and
a stunted elm rises from a hillock in the centre. The view,
on the right, looks over a wild country, interspersed with
woodlands.
