Up above there were the gravestones toppling down the hill, where I had just strolled down, and sunshine! He suddenly threw up his hand.
For long weary hours we wallowed till the welcome form of our host appeared, and we recommenced the pitching and stumbling of the dangerous return voyage of this, our pleasure trip. "For miles the tall, slender pine and cypress-trees festooned with moss and enormous Scuppernong grape-vines, were unbroken by a single clearing or a single shanty.
There is no soul in my marble, there is no life in my beautiful bronze."

On one side is the mountain, and immediately over you are clusters of cypress-trees, of an astonishing height, which seem to pierce the sky.

Beyond the garden, the rough outline of the walls cut a straight line across the distant plains, which melted away into the haze of the marsh-lands by the banks of the Gironde far to the westward.
She dropped into the arm-chair, which I had given up to her. "What gloomy weather!" she said to me; "really, this autumnal sky weighs upon the soul.
