There was this difference between nature and art : the faces and forms of the persons looking on were the figures in the picture before them, taken instantly and held up to them. Every one saw himself distinctly, and his near est neighbor only less vividly drawn. The whole was more like an artist s dream than a reality. It seemed as if they, could have walked out and touched the picture, till a mo ment s reflection made them sensible that the whole was but a shadow. Teunis gazed first on his ow...n outline, then on the tall, straight form of the Indian, who stood immovable. Behind the group of which he was one himself, he saw those who had lain down on the laurel bed, and beside them, several starting up in evident alarm ; others were rushing forward, with curious and hasty looks of wonder at the strange sight ; and round the place, where hemlock branches had been woven into tents, some of the Indians could be seen stooping like Arabs when an alarm has been given, caused by the mirage when it has lifted the forms of an enemy above the level of their plains.
