No hill,no tree,no rise of any sort,indeed,cut off the sky from this earth.The earth lay flat and pressed down around its circular edge by the weight of the sky,heavy and metalblue by day,and star-sprinkled steel by night. The sky was infinitely more impo...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    It had been gradually getting overcast,and now the sky was dark and lowering,save where the glory of the departing sun piled up masses of gold and burning fire,decaying embers of which gleamed here and there through the black veil,and shone redly down upo...[繼續(xù)閱讀]
