This
cliff
was
apparently
bare
of
vegetation
save
at
its
base
,
and
with
buttresses
and
terraces
and
platforms
that
did
not
very
greatly
attract
our
attention
at
the
time
.
It
was
many
miles
away
from
us
in
every
direction
;
we
seemed
to
be
almost
at
the
centre
of
the
crater
,
and
we
saw
it
through
a
certain
haziness
that
drove
before
the
wind
.
For
there
was
even
a
wind
now
in
the
thin
air
,
a
swift
yet
weak
wind
that
chilled
exceedingly
but
exerted
little
pressure
.
It
was
blowing
round
the
crater
,
as
it
seemed
,
to
the
hot
illuminated
side
from
the
foggy
darkness
under
the
sunward
wall
.
It
was
difficult
to
look
into
this
eastward
fog
;
we
had
to
peer
with
half-closed
eyes
beneath
the
shade
of
our
hands
,
because
of
the
fierce
intensity
of
the
motionless
sun
.
"
It
seems
to
be
deserted
,
"
said
Cavor
,
"
absolutely
desolate
.
"
I
looked
about
me
again
.
I
retained
even
then
a
clinging
hope
of
some
quasi-human
evidence
,
some
pinnacle
of
building
,
some
house
or
engine
,
but
everywhere
one
looked
spread
the
tumbled
rocks
in
peaks
and
crests
,
and
the
darting
scrub
and
those
bulging
cacti
that
swelled
and
swelled
,
a
flat
negation
as
it
seemed
of
all
such
hope
.
"
It
looks
as
though
these
plants
had
it
to
themselves
,
"
I
said
.
"
I
see
no
trace
of
any
other
creature
.
"
"
No
insects
--
no
birds
,
no
!
Not
a
trace
,
not
a
scrap
nor
particle
of
animal
life
.
If
there
was
--
what
would
they
do
in
the
night
?
...
No
;
there
's
just
these
plants
alone
.
"
I
shaded
my
eyes
with
my
hand
.
"
It
's
like
the
landscape
of
a
dream
.
These
things
are
less
like
earthly
land
plants
than
the
things
one
imagines
among
the
rocks
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea
.
Look
at
that
yonder
!
One
might
imagine
it
a
lizard
changed
into
a
plant
.
And
the
glare
!
"
"
This
is
only
the
fresh
morning
,
"
said
Cavor
.
He
sighed
and
looked
about
him
.
"
This
is
no
world
for
men
,
"
he
said
.
"
And
yet
in
a
way
--
it
appeals
.
"
He
became
silent
for
a
time
,
then
commenced
his
meditative
humming
.
