Excerpt from RosyHe was bewildered, a little dismayed. He took a shorter hold on the bridle-rein, ignoring the horse's fractious efforts to have its head again.He had known as he jogged slowly up the mountain road that the sun must be sinking below the valley horizon, over beyond the mountain. It had sunk beyond the mountains summit hours ago. But he had given no thought to the approach of night. His meditations were of so bitter and absorbing a kind that they allowed no room for lesser problems. Subconsciously he had foreseen that night would overtake him on the road, but there would be a little light from the stars through the trees which wrapped the mountain as with a kind of shabby robe, and in any case it would be possible to see the road, if ever so faintly, when he was ready to turn back.Now he realized that every vestige of the road had been blotted out - absorbed. He could not even see his horses head. He seemed suspended in space but for the knowledge that certain muscles and sinews and joints in the living mechanism beneath him were ready to bear him on his way if he would only relax his grip on the rein. He had a realization of the horses impatience as well as of contact with its perfect body.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
