Cap Éternité is a mountain in the municipality of Rivière-Éternité, the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, in Quebec, Canada. It overlooks, to the southwest, Éternité Bay while to the west is Cap Trinité. Reaching an altitude of 347 m (1,138 ft), it is part of Saguenay Fjord National Park.
The name of the cape was made official on December 5, 1968.[1] To the west of the bay, the Éternité River gave its name to the municipality of Rivière-Éternité.
Its impressive rock mass and steep cliffs make it a major tourist attraction site in the Saguenay Fjord National Park. Cape Eternity inspired painters, poets and writers, including Charles Gill (1871–1918)[2] and William Chapman (1850–1917).[3]
Notes and references
- ^ Toponymy: Cap Éternité
- ^ Charles Gill,Le Cap Éternité, posthumous edition, 1919, Song IX:
Dizzying pediment of which a world is the temple,
It’s eternity that this course makes you think:
Let the hour go past him
Silently, oh my soul, and contemplate. - ^ Cap Éternité, Commission de toponymie du Québec; William Chapman in 1916:
Let us suppose that the end of the centuries had come,
That all was engulfed under a frantic breath
That he remained standing in the dreary expanse
Only a colossus of stone at the edge of the Saguenay.
