Let him enter within its shade. The supposed forest is but a system of regular rows of trees, the oldest of which is not forty years of age.
Seite 21 - ... dark green alders, and pale green reeds, stretched for miles round the broad lagoon, where the coot clanked, and the bittern boomed, and the sedgebird, not content with its own sweet song, mocked the notes of all the birds around : while high overhead hung motionless, hawk beyond hawk, buzzard beyond buzzard, kite beyond kite, as far as eye could see.
