Description:Excerpt from Delaplaine or the Sacrifice of Irene "Nor strong power, now walls of beater brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit." Julius Qatar. The sky was overcast, and the wind moaned over the solemnly gliding river. Upon the banks of the broad stream the scattered trees stood leafless, and a dread sense of approaching winter and storm and desolation seemed to pervade all things. Even the town on the river bank was wonderfully quiet. Few of the inhabitants cared to be abroad in the chill air; and even half a dozen empty rowboats on the shore looked as if they were drawn up from the water, and huddled together to keep each other warm. Near to the town and close to the waters edge loomed up heavy and extensive buildings of gray stone. Firmly and durably constructed, the vast pile of masonry reared its towers and turrets solemnly against the leaden hue of the sky. There was mystery and awe in the appearance of the massive architecture. At the first glance the long outlines and angles of this durable structure appeared to be deserted. The eye roamed wearily in search of human life, but found at last an indication of the presence of man at the summit of a lofty wall, and exactly at the angle it made with another wall. Here, perched high above the earth, was a sentry box, from which a man with a musket emerged and contemplated the huge enclosure beneath him. A painful interruption in the dread silence of the scene was approaching the massive building from the front.
