Literature

Castaly A fountain of Parnassus sacred to the Muses. Its waters had the power of inspiring with the gift of poetry those who drank of them.
"The drooping Muses [Sir Industry]
Brought to another Castalie,
Where Isis many a famous nursling breeds,
Or where old Cam soft paces o'er the lea
In pensive mood."
Thomson: Castle of Indolence, ii. 21.
"Isis" means the University of Oxford, and "Cam" the University of Cambridge, so called from the respective rivers on which they stand. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
