AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A traveller to the Pink and White terraces in New Zealand's North Island has a vision of a beautiful nude maiden in a canoe joined by others until a sudden storm overturns her boat. He helps rescue her and as a reward she takes him to the maidens' crystal home within the earth. As she kisses him he awakes to find out he has fainted from toxic gas. Dreamy, insubstantial atmosphere; unsatisfyingly vague first person narrative. Interpolated with brief quotations, eg: from A. L. Gordan's "Ashtaroth", Tasso, etc. (PB)
