Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Best Thing the Goloshes Did, sentence 31
It produced the feeling which we experience when we enter a vault at a funeral, on a summer's day; while the hills and the clouds put on that singular green hue which we often notice in old paintings, and look upon as unnatural until we have ourselves seen nature's coloring in the south.
