tired out, it was only something unusually
striking that had produced any impression
upon me, and I would pass by peaks of
marvellous grandeur with only a weary upward
glance at them, and sometimes even a longing
that they had never existed to bar my way

looking on that glorious mountain scenery

of red and purple and yellow. This mass of
bright warm foliage filled the valley bottom,
then above it rose the bare rugged mountain-
sides, and crowning these the everlasting snows.
The sun shone out in an unclouded, deep-blue
sky; the icy blasts of the Mustagh were left
behind for good and all; and we were in an
ideal climate, with no extremes of either heat
