Before
me
the
pale
serpent-girdled
section
of
the
sun
sank
and
sank
,
and
the
advancing
shadow
swept
to
seize
the
sphere
before
I
could
reach
it
.
I
was
two
miles
away
,
a
hundred
leaps
or
more
,
and
the
air
about
me
was
thinning
out
as
it
thins
under
an
air-pump
,
and
the
cold
was
gripping
at
my
joints
.
But
had
I
died
,
I
should
have
died
leaping
.
Once
,
and
then
again
my
foot
slipped
on
the
gathering
snow
as
I
leapt
and
shortened
my
leap
;
once
I
fell
short
into
bushes
that
crashed
and
smashed
into
dusty
chips
and
nothingness
,
and
once
I
stumbled
as
I
dropped
and
rolled
head
over
heels
into
a
gully
,
and
rose
bruised
and
bleeding
and
confused
as
to
my
direction
.
But
such
incidents
were
as
nothing
to
the
intervals
,
those
awful
pauses
when
one
drifted
through
the
air
towards
that
pouring
tide
of
night
.
My
breathing
made
a
piping
noise
,
and
it
was
as
though
knives
were
whirling
in
my
lungs
.
My
heart
seemed
to
beat
against
the
top
of
my
brain
.
"
Shall
I
reach
it
?
O
Heaven
!
Shall
I
reach
it
?
"
My
whole
being
became
anguish
.
"
Lie
down
!
"
screamed
my
pain
and
despair
;
"
lie
down
!
"
The
nearer
I
struggled
,
the
more
awfully
remote
it
seemed
.
I
was
numb
,
I
stumbled
,
I
bruised
and
cut
myself
and
did
not
bleed
.
It
was
in
sight
.
I
fell
on
all
fours
,
and
my
lungs
whooped
.
I
crawled
.
The
frost
gathered
on
my
lips
,
icicles
hung
from
my
moustache
,
I
was
white
with
the
freezing
atmosphere
.
I
was
a
dozen
yards
from
it
.
My
eyes
had
become
dim
.
"
Lie
down
!
"
screamed
despair
;
"
lie
down
!
"
I
touched
it
,
and
halted
.
"
Too
late
!
"
screamed
despair
;
"
lie
down
!
"
