Excerpt from The Rose and the Key, Vol. 1 of 3
The level light of a summer sunset, over a broad heath, is brightening its brown undulations with a melancholy flush, and turning all the stalks of heather in the foreground into twisted sticks of gold. Insect wings sparkle dimly in the air; the lagging bee drones homeward, and a wide drift of crows, cawing high and faint, show like shadows against the sea-green sky, flecked with faint crimson, as they sail away to the distant dormitories of Westwold Forest.
Toward the sunset end of this savage heath stand four gigantic fir-trees, casting long shadows.
