Excerpt from Growth of the Soil Eyah, well moving northward again, note ing time by the sun, a meal of barley cakes and goats' milk cheese, a drink of water from the stream, and on again. This day too he journeys, for there are many kindly spots in the woods to be explored. What is he seeking? A place, a patch of ground? An emigrant, maybe, from the homestead tracts, he keeps his eyes alert, looking out, now and again he climbs to the top of a hill, looking out. The sun goes down once more. He moves along the western side of a valley, wooded ground, with leafy trees among the spruce and pine, and grass beneath. Hours of this, and twilight is falling, but his ear catches the faint purl of running water, and it heartens him like the voice of a living thing. He climbs the slope, and sees the valley half in darkness below, beyond, the sky to the south. He lies down to rest.
