1 Remember, reader, if ever in the mountains
2 you were trapped in fog and could not see
3 except as moles do, through their eyelids,
4 how, when the strands of mist, humid and dense,
5 began dispersing, the sun's disk
6 dimly glimmered through,
7 then you can readily imagine
8 how, on my seeing it again, the sun appeared,
9 now on the verge of setting.
