It was indeed the most proper place in the world for a Fury to make her exit ... and I believe every reader's imagination is pleased when he sees the angry Goddess thus sinking, as it were, in a tempest, and plunging herself into Hell, amidst such a scene of horror and confusion."--_Remarks on several Parts of Italy_, by Joseph Addison, Esq., 1761, pp. 100. 101. [nh] {385} _Dares not ascend the summit_---- or, _Clothes a more rocky summit_----.--[MS. M. erased.] [454] In the greater part of Switzerland, the avalanches are known by the name of lauwine. [Byron is again at fault with his German. "Lawine" (see Schiller, _Wilhelm Tell_, act iii. sc. 3) signifies an avalanche, not avalanches. In stanza xii. line 7 a similar mistake occurs. It may seem strange that, for the sake of local colouring, or for metrical purposes, he should substitute a foreign equivalent which required a note, for a fine word already in vogue. But in 1817 "avalanche" itself had not long been naturalized. Fifty years before, the Italian _valanca_ and _valanche_ had found their way into books of travel, but "avalanche" appears first (see _N. Eng. Dict._, art. "Avalanche") in 1789, in Coxe's _Trav. Switz._, xxxviii. ii. 3, and in poetry, perhaps, in Wordsworth's _Descriptive Sketches_, which were written in 1791-2. Like "cañon" and "veldt" in our own day, it might be regarded as on probation. But the fittest has survived, and Byron's unlovely and misbegotten "lauwine" has died a natural death.] [ni] _But I have seen the virgin Jungfrau rear_.--[D.]
