The sound of the falling waters of the fountain floated me into oblivion. "A wilderness of building, sinking far And self-withdrawn into a wondrous depth, Far sinking into splendour without end: Fabric it seemed of diamond and of gold, With alabaster domes, and silver spires, And blazing terrace upon terrace, high Uplifted."
"Two creatures, Dagaeoga, that belong upon the ground, but that are not now upon it." "Your answer sounds like a puzzle. If they're not now upon the ground they're probably in the air, but they're not birds, because birds don't belong on the ground. Then they're animals that have climbed trees." "Dagaeoga's mind is becoming wondrous wise. In time he may be a sachem among his adopted people."
Like shadowy spirits, the bats flitted here and there in the gathering gloom. The two on the mountain's shoulder felt themselves alone above it all; above it all, yet still a part of all. Then the moon looked over the mountain behind them turning Mutton Hollow into a wondrous sea of misty light out of which the higher hills lifted their heads like fairy islands.

"If I had to play poppy, though, I'd want a precious long handle to the concern!"
