- The Scarlet Plague by Jack London (Project Gutenberg)
The way led along upon what had once been the embankment of a railroad. But no train had run upon it for many years. The forest on either side swelled up the slopes of the embankment and crested across it in a green wave of trees and bushes. The trail was as narrow as a man’s body, and was no more than a wild-animal runway.
He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.
John 1:7 NIV
