To the north was the Bay, reaching away like a vast black plain.

Indistinct, but different from the black plain that was the scrubland.

Timber was at length before our eyes-greenfoliage-lookingall the fresher and brighter from contrast with the black plain which it bounded.

In the winter she sifted snow on the cold black plain, and in the summer the snow melted into a multitude of brooks and springs.

The sun dipped behind the peaks, and suddenly the black plains plunged into near darkness.
