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.
