And we went on and on, along the Fall,
towards Top Island, continuously on smooth
paths covered with saw-dust, to Polham’s
Sluice. A cleft had been made in the rock for
the first intended sluice-work, which was not
finished, but whereby art has created the most
imposing of all Trollhätta’s Falls; the hurrying
water falling here perpendicularly into the black
deep. The side of the rock is here placed in
connection with Top Island by means of a light
iron bridge, which appears as if thrown over the
abyss. We venture on to the rocking bridge
over the streaming, whirling water, and then
stand on the little cliff island, between firs and
pines, that shoot forth from the crevices. Before
us darts a sea of waves, which are broken by
the rebound against the stone block where we
stand, bathing us with the fine spray. The
torrent flows on each side, as if shot out from a
gigantic cannon, fall after fall: we look out over
them all, and are filled with the harmonic
sound, which since time began, has ever been
the same.
