Excerpt from The Dominion of Dreams: Under the Dark Star True, there was a faint rising and falling me'h-ing high in the darkness of the hillside; but that melancholy sound as Of lost children crying, was confused with the rustling Of many leaves of ash and birch, with eddies of air through the heather and among the fronds of the bracken, and with the uncertain hum of trickling waters. No one utterance slid cleanly through the gloom, but only the voice of darkness as it speaks among the rainy hills.
