The Snake's Pass

Paperback (Forgotten Books Jan. 21, 2018)
Excerpt from The Snake's PassThe sky was a revelation to me, and seemed to almost obliterate memories of beautiful skies, although I had just come from the south and had felt the intoxication of the Italian night, where in the deep blue sky the nightingale's note seems to hang as though its sound and the colour were but different expressions of one common feeling.The whole west was a gorgeous mass Of violet and sulphur and gold - great masses Of storm-cloud piling up and up till the very heavens seemed weighted with a burden too great to bear. Clouds of violet, whose centres were almost black and whose outer edges were tinged with living gold; great streaks and piled up clouds Of palest yellow deepening into saffron and flame-colour which seemed to catch the coming sunset and to throw its radiance back to the eastern sky.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
