1 The priest accepted it as a joke.
2 He made a gesture and laughed loudly.
3 There was a shadow from his hand on the wall.
4 "It is a filthy and vile book," said the priest.
5 The captain was having a great success with finger games.
6 Now the fighting was in the next mountains beyond and was not a mile away.
7 In the dark it was like summer lightning, but the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming.
8 In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains.
9 To the north we could look across a valley and see a forest of chestnut trees and behind it another mountain on this side of the river.
10 The fields were green and there were small green shoots on the vines, the trees along the road had small leaves and a breeze came from the sea.
11 I saw the town with the hill and the old castle above it in a cup in the hills with the mountains beyond, brown mountains with a little green on their slopes.
12 The priest was young and blushed easily and wore a uniform like the rest of us but with a cross in dark red velvet above the left breast pocket of his gray tunic.
13 It came very fast and the sun went a dull yellow and then everything was gray and the sky was covered and the cloud came on down the mountain and suddenly we were in it and it was snow.
14 The forest had been green in the summer when we had come into the town but now there were the stumps and the broken trunks and the ground torn up, and one day at the end of the fall when I was out where the oak forest had been I saw a cloud coming over the mountain.
15 Later, below in the town, I watched the snow falling, looking out of the window of the bawdy house, the house for officers, where I sat with a friend and two glasses drinking a bottle of Asti, and, looking out at the snow falling slowly and heavily, we knew it was all over for that year.
16 The river ran behind us and the town had been captured very handsomely but the mountains beyond it could not be taken and I was very glad the Austrians seemed to want to come back to the town some time, if the war should end, because they did not bombard it to destroy it but only a little in a military way.
17 The mountain that was beyond the valley and the hillside where the chestnut forest grew was captured and there were victories beyond the plain on the plateau to the south and we crossed the river in August and lived in a house in Gorizia that had a fountain and many thick shady trees in a walled garden and a wistaria vine purple on the side of the house.
