| | 1 | Author: | Torrey, Bradford | Add | | | Title: | On Foot in the Yosemite  | | | | Published: | 1994 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | WHEN flocks of wild geese light in the Yosemite, Mr. Muir
tells us, they have hard work to find their way out again.
Whatever direction they take, they are soon stopped by the wall,
the height of which they seem to have an insuperable difficulty in
gauging. There is something mysterious about it, they must think.
The rock looks to be only about so high, but when they should be
flying far over its top, northward or southward as the season may
be, here they are once more beating against its stony face; and
only when, in their bewilderment, they happen to follow the
downward course of the river, do they hit upon an exit. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
