Literature | Carbuncle of Ward Hill (The). A mysterious carbuncle visible enough to those who stand at the foot of the hill in May, June or July; but never beheld by anyone who has succeeded in reaching the hill top. "I have distinguished, among the dark rocks, that wonderful carbuncle, which gleams ruddy as a furnace to them who view it from beneath, but has ever become invisible to him whose daring foot has scaled the precipice from which it darts its splendour."- Sir W. Scott: The Pirate, chap. xix. Dr. Wallace thinks it is water trickling from a rock, and reddened by the sun. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
