The image taken at distance from across the river is sufficient to proceed with the contrast of lines of the older and the newer habitations of the town. At low tide the river appears of little consequence. The colours of the castle are made indeterminate, in transition from one to another, to tease the eye and conjure up a craft of hues which echo but seek no repetition. The trees still carry foliage, but approaching storms a long way distant will contrive to strip them bare and change the appearance of the season. And slowly, hour by hour, a small fraction of the rain that fell on hill and dale, meadow and forest is returned in grudging measure to the sea.
