Excerpt from Lu of the RangesFold upon fold the forest draped the undulating sides of the Main Ranges, and filled the valley, broken only by an occasional landslip, a splash of tawny earth and rubble, and the disintegrated roots of trees, with a new growth struggling to life above their fallen bodies. For est myrtles, distorted and moss-grown, mountain-ash, black-butt, and the towering trunks of battalions of white stringy bark, beneath these, a thick growth of pepper mint, creeper, and fern. N o hint of distance, no sky visible, save directly overhead.There, in the midst of the forest, lay that deadening world which knows no horizon, where there is nothing to draw the soul upward beyond its own petty confines, no towering peak to climb, no beckoning road, no dis tant town, the trees pressing too tightly in their sti¿ing phalanx to allow of any possible aspiration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
