One only leaf upon the top of a tree - the sole remaining leaf - danced round and round like a rag blown by the wind.

We saw a raven very high above us. It called out, and the dome of the sky seemed to echo the sound. It called again and again as it flew onwards, and the mountains gave back the sound, seeming as if from their centre; a musical bell-like answering to the bird's hoarse voice.
