1 Now, toward the end of the afternoon, the mirages were settling a little.
2 The mirages had died away and gloomily he ran his eye along the taut blue line of the horizon.
3 They were high up and the afternoon had advanced; the view was not robbed of sharpness by mirage.
4 Sleep enveloped him like the swathing mirages that were wrestling with the brilliance of the lagoon.
5 The filmy enchantments of mirage could not endure the cold ocean water and the horizon was hard, clipped blue.
6 Then, at the end of the afternoon; the mirage subsided and the horizon became level and blue and clipped as the sun declined.
7 Then the creature stepped from mirage on to clear sand, and they saw that the darkness was not all shadow but mostly clothing.
8 The sky and the mountain were at an immense distance, shimmering in the heat; and the reef was lifted by mirage, floating in a kind of silver pool halfway up the sky.
9 The beach stretched away before them in a gentle curve till perspective drew it into one with the forest; for the day was not advanced enough to be obscured by the shifting veils of mirage.
