Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Reproach of Annesley, Vol. 2 It is beautiful to be on the line of rail which runs along the Jura; the mountain rises sheer on one side and the steep falls suddenly away on the other, while the traveller is borne with bird-like swiftness and directness along the hillside, secure, without effort, straight to an apparent block which hinders further progress. But a closer view shows a black spot in the rocky mass, tiny as the nest of some sea-bird on a cliff; it grows as the distance lessens, till it becomes a dark arch, and into that darts the train with angry thunder and impatient panting, and there is blackness all round, and thick air, and a vague distress of body and mind for awhile.
