Flandry, standing on a high balcony of a palace surrounded by a garden and by a white, yellow and red stone city, sees:
a snowcap that glows gold in the perpetual sunset;
a rainbow-misted waterfall;
a fertile plain.
Chee Lan, creeping through tall growth to the city wall:
sees a cloud scudding through the purple sky above the dark cliff of the wall;
smells pungent tarry vegetation;
feels a cold wind;
hears the roaring waterfall.
Two perspectives and four senses in few sentences.
