Excerpt from An Idol of BronzeUpon the western slope of Southern Mexico the Titans wrestled long ages ago, and since they passed away Mother Nature has never had the heart to set in order their devas tated and deserted playground. Great ridges of bare rock piled with volcanic boulders inter sect the valleys, which are rich with tropical verdure. River courses, which have rent deep scars upon the mountain sides, are traced across the lowlands by wide wastes of sand or by lines of trees which throw pendant arms from their gnarled trunks to grasp the soil, and form webs of roots amid which riot ¿owering vines. Birds are there, and countless butter¿ies that mock the ¿owers by their brightness, and serpents and lizards glide silently like glints from irri descent metal. Cat-like animals crouch in the shadows.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
