More Quotes from H. Rider Haggard:
Slowly the sun sank, then suddenly darkness rushed down on the land like a tangible thing. There was no breathing-space between the day and night, no soft transformation scene, for in these latitudes twilight does not exist. The change from day to night is as quick and as absolute as the change from life to death.H. Rider Haggard

H. Rider Haggard

H. Rider Haggard
