Fastening their boat to a willow, the friends
landed in this silent, silver kingdom, and patiently explored the
hedges, the hollow trees, the runnels and their little culverts,
the ditches and dry water-ways. Embarking again and crossing over,
they worked their way up the stream in this manner, while the moon,
serene and detached in a cloudless sky, did what she could, though
so far off, to help them in their quest; till her hour came and she
sank earthwards reluctantly, and left them, and mystery once more
held field and river. -- Grahame, Kenneth. The Wind in the
Willows. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1917.
