017.05 | This is a small building recently erected on a rock in the centre of Calder called The Grey Mare. There is a wooden bridge from the rock to the left bank of the stream near the end of which is a stone with the following inscription. "the pangs of life of death itself an o'er The Hermit's weary heart shall throb no more He in this ruin found a home a tomb. Here where decay is robed in thickest bloom of earth when heaven's own soft yet radiant beam, still sheds young beauty on old Calder's stream. Yes here a chastened child of sorrow heard and felt Gods holy word. Reader a few short hours a few more throes of Human Grief thy fleeting days shall close. At the dread moment may the light divine which blest the dying Eremitable shine" |
