By the Shores of Silver Lake
“Beyond the lake's eastern shore the pale sky was bordered with bands of crimson and gold. Their brightness stretched around the south shore and shone on the high bank that stood up from the water in the east and the north.

Then the sun, a golden ball, rolled over the eastern edge of the world.MoreLess
