How quickly nature goes about repairing her desolations! So great in this case is her haste to cover up the black, unseemly surface of the earth, that, from the strange resemblance of the weed with which she clothes it to the fiery elements, it would seem as if she had not yet been able to thrust the raging glow out of her fancy, and so its type has crept again over the blighted spot.

It is ultimately to root sin out of the world. Through stormy sorrows and perpetual desolations comes the race to God. Zion is the Whole of things the encompassment of space, and time, and endless years, an environment of immortality and peace. Virtue leads the race to Joy, and there is no byway to this height. The final aspect of the universe is joy.
But when I go among snows and desolations and usually I take my pilgrimage in mountains or the north I think very much of the Night of this World the time when our sun will be red and dull, and air and water will lie frozen together in a common snowfield where now the forests of the tropics are steaming.... I think very much of that, and whether it is indeed God's purpose that our kind should end, and the cities we have built, the books we have written, all that we have given substance and a form, should lie dead beneath the snows."
Before arriving at Bonjem, I saw, by the nature of the country, that we were approaching the regions of rain, herbage and shrubs increasing on every side. The country also assumed a more even, though an undulating surface; and I lost sight of those low, dull, dreary, and monotonous ridges which characterize the desolations, of the African Wilderness.
