He came amongst the valleys at their feet, with their blue-green waters hurrying seawards from stony heights of air into the mass of 'the restless wavy plain'; with their sides of rock rising in gigantic terrace after terrace up to the heavens; with their scaling pines, erect and slight, cone-head aspiring above cone-head, ambitious to clothe the bare mass with green, till failing at length in their upward efforts, the savage rock shot away and beyond and above them, the white and blue glaciers clinging cold and cruel to their ragged sides, and the dead blank of whiteness covering their final despair.
Samuel Richardson, at Bath, Smith astonished his friend by suddenly disarranging his classification, and re- arranging the fossils in their stratigraphical order, saying "These came from the blue lias, these from the over-lying sand and freestone, these from the fuller's earth, and these from the Bath building stone." A new light flashed upon Mr.
Around the pulpit, beyond it, and on all sides to an immense distance, so far as he could see, stretched the heads of an incalculable multitude, dead silent, and beyond them again trees, green against a blue summer sky. He looked on all this, but it meant nothing to him.

What he did not recognize or remember was that he had told her once that his dream-girl "had her hair parted and wore blue and was connected somehow with an open fire."
