  ALL 
  THAT 
  IS 
  LEFT 
  OF 
  THE 
  TERRACED 
  FIELD 
  IN 
  THE 
  MIDDLE 
  DISTANCE 
  IS 
  THE 
  LITTLE 
  

  

  ISLAND 
  OF 
  EARTH 
  

  

  Apparently 
  the 
  island 
  is 
  firmer 
  than 
  the 
  earth 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  it, 
  for 
  it 
  divided 
  the 
  avalanche 
  

  

  of 
  dirt 
  into 
  two 
  mouths.
