My glazed eye wandered over the dim and misty landscape … I had some fear – or hope- that here I should die
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte
Her pleasure in the walk must arise from…the view of the last smiles of the year upon the tawny leaves and withered hedges…
Persuasion, Jane Austen
So silent the world with the sun just peeking above the horizon..
