A SNOWY LANDSCAPE. 101 



Emerging now from the dense thicket of 

 Box and of clustering trees, our path commences 

 a descent on the other side of the hill. At this 

 point a splendid view bursts upon us over a 

 wide-spreading landscape; from the valley of 

 meadow and tree down below, away to hills in 

 the distance beyond, silvered all, far and near, 

 by its beautiful garment of snow.
