Description
Excerpt from Just David
Far up on the mountain-side the little shack stood alone in the clearing. It was roughly yet warmly built. Behind it jagged cliffs broke the north wind, and towered gray-white in the sun shine. Before it a tiny expanse of green Sloped gently away to the point Where the mountain dropped in another Sharp descent, wooded with scrubby firs and pines. At the left a footpath led into the cool depths of the forest. But at the right the mountain fell away again and dis closed to View the picture David loved the best of all: the far-reaching valley; the Silver pool of the lake with its ribbon of a river ?ung far out; and above it the grays and greens and purples of the mountains that climbed one upon another''s Shoulders until the topmost thrust their heads into the wide dome of the Sky itself.
