Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Land of Manitou The Land of Manitou Trembling Mountain, the highest of the Laurentians, is known to the Indians as "Manitou-Ewitchi-Saga," "The Mountain of the Dread Manitou." Beside it is beautiful Lac Tremblant. The district is a Government Park, and no settlements exist between it and the Arctic. North in the mountains, noblest range of all, Mont Tremblant reigns, far seen from many a height, And, watching from its long majestic line, Hidden in ancient and unconquered pines, And wrapt in misty distance or in clouds, The Manitou-Ewitchi rules the wilds. He watches ever, and when evil men, Infringe the great laws of the wilderness, The long range trembles. He who then defies Must brave the tempest crashing ´round his path. Rough giant hemlocks hurled towards him, hail, Thunders and plunging bolts of fire; huge rocks Torn by mad torrents hunt him, while around, The indignant precipice reverberates Stern condemnation, Or if his pathway on the water be A sudden bright and lofty cloud appears Flashing like silver, racing down the lake, And, churning white the waves, the air, the sky, In universal shroud engulfs the boat. But those who learn the laws and them obey, Their breath is e´er the scent of balsam tops, Their drink the moss-edged, clear and ice-cold springs, Their wine the tonic of Auroral air, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
