Excerpt from The Campaner Thal: And Other Writings In my distilling processes, I frequently precipitated the phlegma of our earthball - its polar deserts, its Russian forests, its icebergs - and from the sediments extracted a beautiful by earth, a small satellite. If we extract and regulate the charms of this old world, we can form a delightful though minutely condensed world. For the caves of this miniature or ditto-earth, we will take the caves of Antiparos and of Baumann, for its plains, the Rhine provinces - Hybla, Thabor, and Mont Blanc shall be its mountains - its islands, the Friendly, the Holy, and the Palm isles. Wentworth's park and Daphne's grotto, and some corner-pieces from the Paphian, we have for its forests - for a charming valley, the Seifer's-dorfer and that of Campan. Thus we possess, besides this dirty, weary world, the most beautiful by or after-world - an important dessert service - an Ante-Heaven between Ante-Hells.
