About this deal

IMHO this isn't Poe's best work, but it does show what can be done with careful and accurate description. It was most narrow at its northern extremity, opening out as it tended southwardly, but with no very precise regularity. He not only shut his mouth and wagged his tail, but absolutely offered me his paw–afterward extending his civilities to Ponto. Nothing of the fence kind was observable elsewhere; for nowhere else was an artificial enclosure needed: - any stray sheep, for example, which should attempt to make its way out of the vale by means of the ravine, would find its progress arrested, after a few yards' advance, by the precipitous ledge of rock over which tumbled the cascade that had arrested my attention as I first drew near the domain.

Totalmente innecesaria su presencia y compañía, ya que apenas se menciona dos veces a este perro, pero para nada. The trout, and some other varieties of fish, with which this pond seemed to be almost inconveniently crowded, had all the appearance of veritable flying–fish. As regards vegetation, as well as in respect to every thing else, the scene softened and sloped to the south. Presently the murmur of water fell gently upon my ear—and in a few moments afterward, as I turned with the road somewhat more abruptly than hitherto, I became aware that a building of some kind lay at the foot of a gentle declivity just before me. y esto se aplica a todo lo referente habido y por haber del valle en el que el narrador/protagonista está excursionando.Landor’s Cottage and The Domain of Arnheim go hand-in-hand, with both being descriptive pieces that show Poe’s ability to bring the world to life but fail to show his ability to fill the reader with unease. Scorning all restraint, it had clambered first to the lower roof - then to the higher; and along the ridge of this latter it continued to writhe on, throwing out tendrils to the right and left, until at length it fairly attained the east gable, and fell trailing over the stairs. About thirty yards east of this tree stood, however, the pride of the valley, and beyond all question the most magnificent tree I have ever seen, unless, perhaps, among the cypresses of the Itchiatuckanee.

Final que, si se los incluí, es porque hay ediciones (incluso en inglés) que le recortan una gran parte a esta conclusión y carece de sentido si no se le conoce íntegramente. Excellent paths of the same material - not nicely adapted, but with the velvety sod filling frequent intervals between the stones, led hither and thither from the house, to a crystal spring about five paces off, to the road, or to one or two out - houses that lay to the north, beyond the brook, and were thoroughly concealed by a few locusts and catalpas. As it came fully into view—thus gradually as I describe it—piece by piece, here a tree, there a glimpse of water, and here again the summit of a chimney, I could scarcely help fancying that the whole was one of the ingenious illusions sometimes exhibited under the name of "vanishing pictures.Here was art undoubtedly—that did not surprise me—all roads, in the ordinary sense, are works of art; nor can I say that there was much to wonder at in the mere excess of art manifested; all that seemed to have been done, might have been done here—with such natural "capabilities" (as they have it in the books on Landscape Gardening)—with very little labor and expense. The whole house, with its wings, was constructed of the old-fashioned Dutch shingles - broad, and with un-rounded corners.
