Publisher's Synopsis
It was now almost too dark to distinguish objects; dus-kier and vaguer became the flat world of marshes, set he-re and there with cypress and bounded only by far hori-zons; and at last land and water disappeared behind the gathered curtains of the night. There was no sound from the waste except the wind among the withered reeds and the furrowing splash of wheel and hoof over the submer-ged causeway.
