Excerpt from Under the Syrian Sun, Vol. 2: The Lebanon, Baalbek, Galilee, and Judea AS I turned to look across at the eastern hill, suddenly from the south-end of the lake came a vapoury Shower, blotting them from View though revealing the White surface Of the water as through a gauzy veil. It vanished, leaving clear and limpid a vast expanse Of mellow green, stretching across from the Opposite hill coast to the border of weather-worn purple and grey walls, roofs, and porches of Tiberias abutting on this shore. Then in a moment right across the green a passing cloud flung a broad purple shadow, which fied as if pursued to the eastern boundary, adding a deeper tone to the flat hill-wall.
