WRIGHT. / DAME Gourley's tales were at first of a mild and inter- / esting character; gradually, however, they assumed a / darker and more mysterious tone, and became such as / told by the midnight lamp, and enforced by the tremulous / voice, the quivering and livid lip, the uplifted skinny / forefinger, and the shaking head of the ugly blue-eyed / hag, might have appalled a less credulous imagination, in / an age more hard of belief. The old Sycorax saw her / advantage, and gradually narrowed her magic circle / around the devoted victim on whose spirit she practised. / Her legends began to relate to the fortunes of the / Ravenswood family, whose ancient grandeur and porten- / tous authority, credulity had graced with so many super- / stitious attributes. / The Bride of Lammermoor. - Vol. III. p. 48. //
