Snake River Fine

In folds of himself until he awakens in hunger and moving his head to right and to left prepares for his hour to devour.”

some further range of delectable mountains,”

“In those rare days, the press was seldom known to snarl or bark,
But sweetly sang of men in pow’r, like any tuneful lark;
Grave judges, too, to all their evil deeds were in the dark;
And not a man in twenty score knew how to make his mark.
Oh the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1890)
