One Side Of The Ravine Was In Darkness. The Darkness Was Soft And Rich,
Suggesting Thick Foliage. Along The Crest Of The Slope Tree-Tops Came
Into View--Great Pines And Hemlocks Of The Ancient Unviolated
Forest--Revealed Against The Orange Disk Of A Full Moon Just Rising. The
Low Rays Slanting Through The Moveless Tops Lit Strangely The Upper
Portion Of The Opposite Steep,--The Western Wall Of The Ravine, Barren,
Unlike Its Fellow, Bossed With Great Rocky Projections, And Harsh With
Stunted Junipers. Out Of The Sluggish Dark That Lay Along The Ravine As
In A Trough, Rose The Brawl Of A Swollen, Obstructed Stream.
