The regular sky-line broken by tall knolls and clumps, whose limits are rivulet-courses and bosky dells; thrown up by refraction; flecked with shreds of heavy mist That like a broken purpose waste in air; and dappled with hanging mists, white as snow, and 'sun-clouds, as the natives term the cottony nimbus is easily mistaken, in the dim light of dawn, for a line of towering cliffs.
Would, oh would, that I were but the least of yonder sun-clouds, that look down alike on Willamilla and all places besides, that I might determine aright. Yet why do I pause? did not Rani, and Atama, and Mardonna, my ancestors, each see for himself, free Mardi; and did they not fly the proffered girdle; choosing rather to be free to come and go, than bury themselves forever in this fatal glen?
Spots are simply clouds due to local depressions of temperature, differing in no respect from terrestrial clouds except as regards the kinds of matter composing them. These sun-clouds take their origin in the zones of encounter between polar and equatorial currents in the solar atmosphere.
Hours pass; and full before us, round and green, a Moslem turban by us floats Nora-Bamma, Isle of Nods. Noon-tide rolls its flood. Vibrates the air, and trembles. And by illusion optical, thin-draped in azure haze, drift here and there the brilliant lands: swans, peacock-plumaged, sailing through the sky. Down to earth hath heaven come; hard telling sun-clouds from the isles.
