Excerpt from Ben-Hur, Vol. 1: A Tale of the Christ

When the dromedary lifted itself out of the last break of the wady, the traveller had passed the boundary of El Belka, the ancient Am mon. It was morning-time. Before him was the sun, half curtained in ﬂeecy mist; be fore him also spread the desert; not the realm of drifting sands, which was farther on, but the region where the herbage began to dwarf; where the surface is strewn with bowlders of granite, and gray and brown stones, inter spersed with languishing acacias and tufts of camel-grass. The oak, bramble, and arbutus lay behind, as if they had come to a line, looked over into the well less waste, and crouched with fear.
