Excerpt from The Vale of Cedars: Or the Martyr So marvellous was the change of scenery on which his eyes unclosed, that he started to his feet bewildered. A gradual hill, partly covered with rich meadow grass, and partly with corn, diversified with foliage, sloped downwards, leading by an easy descent to a small valley, where orange and lime trees, the pine and chestnut, palm and cedar, grew in beautiful luxuriance. On the left was a small dwelling, almost hidden in trees. Directly beneath him a natural fountain threw its sparkling showers on beds of sweet-scented and gaily-coloured ¿owers. The hand of man had very evidently aided nature in forming the wild yet chaste beauty of the scene and Arthur bounded down the slope, disturbing a few tame sheep and goats on his way, determined on discovering the genius of the place.
