Excerpt from Where the Atlantic Meets the LandBehind them and to their left the cliffs rose two hundred feet in the air as they soared seaward. The first fifty feet were formed of crumbling slate, above that came a layer of gravelly soil which was scooped out in regular scallops by landslips and seamed and scarred by winter torrents. At the extreme point of the bay the rock was hollowed out beneath by the constant dash of the surf, and the bank sloping more gently overhead was clothed with the long rank grass which has never known a scythe, coarse like the hairs of a horse's tail. The diamond-shaped point where the two met cut sharply into the skyline. Beyond that point the cliffs became one solid wall of beetling rock.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
