Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Forest on the Hill Where certain high-climbing hills take leave of the lowlands, there spread, beneath the eastern frontiers of Dartmoor, extended ranges of forest; and amid these far-flung groves, lifted mightily upon the bosom of her proper mount, crested with the ragged wilderness and bound on north and south by little valleys, where streamlets draw a silver thread through the fringes of her robe, lies Yarner - a fair kingdom, peopled by many myriads of the unconscious. Approached at the epact of a vanished year, and viewed from the naked hilltops before entering her precincts, she shone at early morning under hibernal colours brightly, and the low sun not only gilded the drab and iron-grey contours of her woods, but wakened also a warmth of rose and purple therein, where spread the growth of young birches in a straggling stain amid the more sober colours of adult trees. The physical proportions of Yarner were clearly manifested under these conditions; the great main mass bosomed upon one rounded hill in close-fitting garment of wintry ash and silver, warmed to russet and chilled to lead; then on the right hand and on the left the land fell nobly, descending into deep ravines, beyond which the earth climbed up again. The northern heights making abrupt ascent, threw off the last straggling arms of the birches and swept upward to the stark Moor; but where southern hills arose beyond the valley, there mingled pine and fir in dim green and blue that melted together under the day-spring.
