The Lake of Geneva
Morris, Joseph E. (Joseph Ernest)
Geneva, Lake (Switzerland and France)
I do not know whether these footmarks are still visible, or, indeed,
were ever visible; but if we choose to imagine them--Bonnivard was
chained to the fifth pillar from the entrance--we shall not do
much amiss. At least it would be better thus to err on the side of
imagination than to imitate the English lady of whom Byron complained
when he visited Chillon, not for the first time, on September 18, 1816,
that he met her on his return fast asleep in her carriage--"fast asleep
in the most anti-narcotic spot in the world."
