You could not compass it it was the idea of eternity made tangible and the longest end of it made visible to the naked eye! The greater part of the vast floor of the desert under us was as black as ink, and apparently smooth and level; but over a mile square of it was ringed and streaked and striped with a thousand branching streams of liquid and gorgeously brilliant fire!
Fright deprived me of the power of thought, but in a sort of subconscious way I felt that Orpheus must have witnessed just such mad revels when he went down into Pluto's regions.

Their surfaces are rough, and fissured with branching cracks; their internal structure is either irregularly scoriaceous and compact, or it presents a symmetrical and very curious appearance. Its size was about that of a man's head. The whole interior is coarsely cellular; the cells averaging in diameter about the tenth of an inch; but nearer the outside they gradually decrease in size.
The night before he had secreted half his supper, knowing that he should need it more the next morning. He thought he might now venture to sit down and eat it. At a little distance from the road was a spring, doubtless used for cattle, since it was situated at the lower end of a pasture.
