[Footnote
85:
Corehouse.--J.
C.
S.]
After
having
stayed
some
time,
we
returned
by
the
same
footpath
into
the
main
carriage-road,
and
soon
came
upon
what
William
calls
an
ell-wide
gravel
walk,
from
which
we
had
different
views
of
the
Linn.
We
sat
upon
a
bench,
placed
for
the
sake
of
one
of
these
views,
whence
we
looked
down
upon
the
waterfall,
and
over
the
open
country,
and
saw
a
ruined
tower,
called
Wallace's
Tower,
which
stands
at
a
very
little
distance
from
the
fall,
and
is
an
interesting
object.
A
lady
and
gentleman,
more
expeditious
tourists
than
ourselves,
came
to
the
spot;
they
left
us
at
the
seat,
and
we
found
them
again
at
another
station
above
the
Falls.
Coleridge,
who
is
always
good-natured
enough
to
enter
into
conversation
with
anybody
whom
he
meets
in
his
way,
began
to
talk
with
the
gentleman,
who
observed
that
it
was
a
majestic
waterfall.
Coleridge
was
delighted
with
the
accuracy
of
the
epithet,
particularly
as
he
had
been
settling
in
his
own
mind
the
precise
meaning
of
the
words
grand,
majestic,
sublime,
etc.,
and
had
discussed
the
subject
with
William
at
some
length
the
day
before.
"Yes,
sir,"
says
Coleridge,
"it
is
a
majestic
waterfall."
"Sublime
and
beautiful,"
replied
his
friend.
Poor
Coleridge
could
make
no
answer,
and,
not
very
desirous
to
continue
the
conversation,
came
to
us
and
related
the
story,
laughing
heartily.
