It consisted of a small plateau immediately beneath the window, the trees which bordered it, and the garden benches and tables disposed about it, all thickly covered with snow; beyond that a couple of narrow ledges, or terrace-walks then, apparently, a Sheer precipice. Where the ground ended a grey mist began, seething up, as it were, from the abyss below to meet and engulph the dancing, gyrating white crystals that floated down wards into it with an effect that, after long gazing, made the brain feel dizzy and bewildered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
