Excerpt from Hills and the Sea Many things came to them in common. Once in the Hills, a thousand miles from home, when they had not seen men for a very long time, Dalua touched them with his wing, and they went mad for the space Of thirty hours. It was by a stream in a profound gorge at evening and under a fretful moon. The next. Morning they lustrated them selves with water, and immediately they were healed. At another time they took a rotten Old leaky boat (they were poor and could afford no other) they took, I say, a rotten Old leaky boat whose tiller was loose and whose sails mouldy, and whose blocks were jammed and creaking, and whose rigging frayed, and they boldly set out together into the great North Sea.
