From the dark tool-shed by the muddy current, John Milton, with a battered dogs'-eared chronicle, soared on the wings of fancy far beyond their wildest ken! Prosperity had settled upon the plains of Tasajara.
I climbed the hills only to find that there were bigger hills beyond an endless sea of swelling billows of green without a clearing in it.
