“Yea,rotten with a hundred years of death,
Sprang into fire:and at the base we found
On either hand,as far as eye could see,
A great black swamp and of an evil smell,
Part black,part whitened with the bones of men”
Alfred Lord Tennyson, Holy Grail

“Away to the Dismal Swamp he speeds—
His path was rugged and sore,
Through tangled juniper, beds of reeds,
Through many a fen where the serpent feeds,
And man never trod before. “
by Thomas Moore
“So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall trees that tower’d around.
But when the night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot — as upon all,
And the wind would pass me by
In its stilly melody”
“The Lake” by Edgar Allen Poe
