Over in the southwest was one patch which glared white by contrast - it was like a huge sun which had become dissolved into a cloud of light. Under its glare, tiny pools flashed + tree leaves dripped jewells. A thing of rare beauty was a wire fence, on which were many sparkling drops of water, the wire against a dark background of earth became invisible, and the drops seem as tho motionless in the air, - like a fairy mirage.What a rare sight! - dimmed overlapping trees finally blending into the sky a million miles away
