one overlooks both elv and valley; the bank of
the river on the other side, rises in green
undulating hills, grouped with leafy trees and
red-painted wooden houses, which are bounded by
rocks and pine forests. Steam-boats and sailing
vessels ascend through the sluices; the water
itself is the attendant spirit that must bear
them up above the rock, and from the forest
itself it buzzes, roars and rattles. The din of
Trollhätta Falls mingles with the noise from
the saw-mills and smithies.
"In three hours we shall be through the
luices," said the Captain: "in that time you
will see the Falls. We shall meet again at the
inn up here."
We went from the path through the forest:
a whole flock of bare-headed boys surrounded
us. They would all be our guides; the one
screamed longer than the other, and every one
gave his contradictory explanation, how high
the water stood, and how high it did not stand,
or could stand. There was also a great
difference of opinion amongst the learned.
