Locksley Hall. The lord of Locksley Hall loves his cousin Amy, but Amy, at her father’s instigation, marries a rich clown. The lord of Locksley Hall, indignant, says he will leave Europe, where all are slaves to gold, and marry some iron-jointed savage; but on reflection he says there can be no sympathy of mind in such a union; and he resolves to continue at Locksley Hall, for “better fifty years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay.”—Tennyson: Locksley Hall.

Loda or Cruth-Loda, a Scandinavian god, which dwelt “on the misty top of U-thorno…the house of the spirits of men.” Fingal did not worship at the “stone of this power,” but looked on it as hostile to himself and friendly to his foes. Hence, when Loda appeared to him on one occasion, Fingal knew it was with no friendly intent, and with his sword he cleft the intrenchant spirit in twain. Whereupon it uttered a terrible shriek, which made the island tremble; and, “rolling itself up, rose upon the wings of the wind,” and departed. (See Mars Wounded.)—Ossian: CarricThura.

They stretch their hands to the shells in Loda.)
