A Prairie Sunset.
A PRAIRIE SUNSET.
Shot gold, maroon and violet, dazzling silver, emerald, fawn, The earth's whole amplitude and Nature's multiform power con-sign'd for once to colors; The light, the general air possess'd by them—colors till now un-
known, No limit, confine—not the Western sky alone—the high meri-
dian—North, South, all, Pure luminous color fighting the silent shadows to the last.
