The same lanes of gold-sifted light leading over the edge of the world through the aisled evergreens, but at the end a glint as of emerald, the sheen of water with the metal glister of green enamel, water marbled like onyx or malachite, with the reflection of a snow cross and dun gray shadows shadows of deer standing motionless at the opening of the aisled trees come out from the forest at sundown to their drinking place.
