🌲 Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand, The Little People of the Mist., sentence 30

In the early morning too, when the fogs are lifting from the bays, and here and there a black broken thumb of a peak juts out above the trailing vapours, or the mist-wreaths drape in torn veilings the huge rampart-like scarps, and when the first rosy sunbeams glorify the half-revealed mountains, the poetic mind can well conceive of this region as one of fairy wizardry and all manner of dusk-time magic.

Who acts: fogs, black broken thumb, first rosy sunbeams, poetic mind · What happens: lift, break, jut out, glorify, reveal, conceive · To what, where: bays, trailing vapours, revealed mountains
