. . . I was under the pines of the Jorat ; the evening was beautiful, the woods silent, the air calm, the sunset misty, but cloudless. Everything seemed sta- 12 OBERMANN tionary, illumined, motionless ; then, suddenly, as I raised my eyes, long fixed upon the moss where I was sitting, there came to me an impressive illusion, which the mood of reverie that I was in helped to prolong. The steep slope that reached down to the lake was hid- den by the knoll on which I sat ; and the surface of the l...ake, seeming to rise as it receded into distance, lifted the opposite shore into the air. The Alps of Savoy were half veiled by the mist, and all were blended and merged into the same shades. The light of the sun- set and the haze of the air in the depths of the Valais uplifted the mountains and divided them from the earth, by making their lower slopes invisible ; and their colossal bodies, without form, without color, sombre and snowy, illu- mined yet shadowy, had the appearance of a mass of storm clouds suspended in space : there was no earth save that which held me above the void, alone in immensity.
