mud-mountain

Updated: June 23, 2025

This mud-mountain is indeed considerably heaped up, but it is a very poor Pisgah nevertheless; for it is a mountain in a pit, whose top does not rise to an equality with the broad common levels, far less with the high table-lands and skyward peaks and summits of intelligence. From Leamington to Stratford-on-Avon the distance is eight or nine miles, over a road that seemed to me most beautiful.
