"

It__ different," Sorgan__ younger cousin Torl declared, gesturing at the glorious sunset late that afternoon. "It__ pretty enough, I suppose, but it__ not too much like the sunsets out at sea. Mountains seem to do peculiar things to the sky.""It__ the clouds, Captain Torl," Keselo explained. "Most of the time, I__ imagine, the clouds out over the sea sort of plod along from here to there. When they come to mountains, though, they have to climb up one side and then slide down the other. That sort of scrambles them, so they__e thicker in some places and thinner in others. That__ why we see so many different shades of red in a mountain sunset.

A year indoors is a journey along a paper calendar; a year in outer nature is the accomplishment of a tremendous ritual. To share in it, one must have a knowledge of the pilgrimages of the sun, and something of the natural sense of him and feeling for him which made even the most primitive people mark the summer limits of his advance and the last December ebb of his decline. All those Autumn weeks I have watched the great disk going south along the horizon of moorlands beyond the marsh, now sinking behind this field, now behind this leafless tree, now behind this sedgy hillock dappled with thin snow. We lose a great deal, I think, when we lose this sense and feeling for the sun. When all has been said, the adventure of the sun is the great natural drama by which we live, and not to have joy and awe of it, not to share in it, isw to close a dull door on nature__ sustaining and poetic spirit.
