It was upwards of half a mile long, and under the road were six arches to admit the passage of the tide as it ebbed and flowed.

Now we would emerge on a rocky headland and below us would be the sea, eternally young and dimpling like a maiden's cheek; but the crags above were eternally old and all gashed with wrinkles and seamed with folds, like the jowls of an ancient squaw. Then for a distance we would run right along the face of the cliff.
