In the other, men and women come forward with water jars to a source suggested by tall white water birds and flowers growing thick among the sedges. There are the same clouds, big with the promise of rain, and the same profusion of vivid hues. Primitive Fire is suggested in the next pair by a thick-clustered group of peasants with hands outstretched where a thin column of smoke rises straight.
And she raised her dreamy blue eyes to the sheltering canopy of green leaves that overhung them leaves thick-clustered and dewy, through which the dazzling sky peeped in radiant patches.
