Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Timely Retreat, or a Year in Bengal Before the Mutinies, Vol. 2 of 2 Scarlet is the royal colour in India, and natives are passionately fond of it. Our homeward path led us past a great many charred trees. Natives travelling are so careless that they will light a fire under any tree, and never think of putting it out; so it often smoulders up the trunk till the whole tree is in a blaze, and sometimes you see a hill-side covered with scorched and blackened trunks, holding up their leafless arms as if twisted and contorted in their last agonies. The most curious of the forest trees presented to our gaze, is that round, shiny, whitish grey trunk, which rears itself constantly before our astonished eyes, sometimes perfectly straight, sometimes taking two or three snake-like twists before rising. I am quite sure if a piece of this-trunk was divested of branches, and taken home, few people would guess its origin.
