Excerpt from The Hill of Pains: A Novel

See, madame, see, - there, on the Hill of Pains!...One more...one more."

"One more, Marie,...it is the life: that on the Hill, this here below; and yet the sun is bright, the cockatoos are laughing in the palms, and you hear my linnet singing."

"It turns slowly,...slowly. Now It points across the Winter Valley.... Ah!"

"Yes, across the Winter Valley, where the deep woods are, and beyond" -

"And beyond?"
