The dusk rapidly deepened; the glades grew dark; the crackling of the fire and the wash of little waves along the rocky lake shore were the only sounds audible. The wind had dropped with the sun, and in all that vast world of branches nothing stirred. Any moment, it seemed, the woodland gods, who are to be worshipped in silence and loneliness, might stretch their mighty and terrific outlines among the trees.

The woods hung dark on the hills; above, the sky violet, specked with minute feathery clouds, white as snowflakes.

Every branch of human knowledge, if traced up to its source and final principles, vanishes into mystery.
