The laird of Norlaw

...the plains ! oh, cockney citizens ! spite of your gas stars and your transparencies your royal initials and festoons of lamps, don t suppose that you know any thing about an illumina tion ; you should have seen the lines of light stealing from slope to slope along the rugged glory of that antique Edin burgh the irregular gleams descending into the valley, the golden threads, here and there broken, that intersected the regular lines of the new town. Yonder tall houses, seven stories high, where every man is a Reformer, and where the lights come out in every window, star by star, in a flicker and glow, as if the very weakness of those humble candles gave them the animation and humanness of a breathing tri umph swelling higher towards the dark Castle, over whose unlighted head the little moon looks down, a serene spec tator of all this human flutter and commotion -undulating down in rugged breaks towards lowly Holyrood, some times only a thin line visible beneath the roof sometimes a whole house aglow. The people went and came, in excited groups, upon the fragrant grass of the Calton Hill ; some times turning to the other side of the landscape, to see the more sparely lighted streets of gentility, or the independent little sparkle which stout little Leith in the distance threw out upon the Firth but always returning with unfailing fascination to this scene of magic the old town shining with its lamps and jewels, like a city in a dream. ...

- Margaret Oliphant, 1858
