[Gutenberg 59742] • The Feather Bed

Excerpt from The Feather Bed

He escaped limping at last, and broke the circuit Travelling down and down; but smooth descent Interrupted by new lakes and ridges, Sprawling unmortared walls of boulder granite, Marshes; one arm hung bruised where he had fallen, Blood welled a sticky trickle from his cheek, Mist gathering in his eye-brows ran full beads Down to his eyes, making them smart and blur.
