Telluride, Colorado is my favorite tourist destination for skiing, but it is difficult to get to by either plane or car because it is located high in
the San Juan Mountains. If you fly into Telluride Airport, expect a treacherous journey in a two-propeller plane with plenty of turbulence. If you ha
a weak stomach, beware! The plane dips and twists, rocks and rolls throughout the entire one hour and sixteen minute flight. Despite the difficult
journey, flying into Telluride Airport has its positives. The airport is only seven miles to downtown and, if you are adventure-minded, the views
traveling in are also excellent (I especially enjoy flying in between the mountains!). The other air travel option is to fly into Montrose Airport which
one and a half hours away from downtown. The plane ride is more comfortable, but the extra travel time is a turn-off to many visitors. Traveling t
Telluride by car will take you seven hours from Denver and six hours from Colorado Springs. You can expect these travel times to be much longer
during the winter season as you will be traveling up and over the San Juan Mountains; encountering snow and ice on the roads is not only possibl
but practically guaranteed.

Read the following line from Ambrose Bierce's "A Cold Greeting" and answer the question.
As dramatic situations and literary effects are foreign to my purpose I will explain at once that Mr.
Barting was dead.
Which of the following is Bierce's most likely reason for including this line?

We talk about cousins like these for a while, but we go on finally to people we knew more intimately, people whose characters have left us, even after all these years, something to wonder about. We speculate on how and when Robert Allard began taking morphine, and what induced Maggie McLean to turn Jim Crenfew down for a nincompoop1 like Edward Brewer. Somebody has seen the notice of Maggie's death in a New Orleans paper. We think of it, but we cannot take it in. We see her as she was when she first came to Merry Point to visit, a frail, high-spirited girl, who made us all indignant with her outrageous treatment of Jim Crenfew. We talk on like that until we have called to mind almost all the people who ever came here in the old days. We hold them in our minds until they seem to live again. I look up through the branches of the sugar tree to where a light burns dimly in one of the upstairs rooms. Girls might be dressing there for a party. At any moment, I may hear the rumbling, explosive laugh of Jim Crenfew.

At such a time, none of us three will stop talking. We keep up the illusion, with a name here, a name there. Seeking to make the scene more complete, we cast about on the fringes of our enormous family connection. What ever became of this cousin, or how was that person connected? It is then that Tom Rivers's name will be mentioned. Infrequently, I say. One or two summers will go by, and I may not hear his name. And then it will be spoken, and I have always that start, half pleasure, half pride, and I realize that no matter whether I hear his name or not he is never out of my memory.

There is a curious thing I have observed. If you sit day after day, summer after summer, in a chair under the same tree, you will notice how the light falls under and through the boughs to strike always in the same pattern. You notice how it falls that way year after year, changing only with the seasons, and you think how you might go away and suffer death or torture by fire or flood, and the light always at the same hour in that season will be creeping around the bole2 of that beech tree.

It is like that with me when I think about Tom Rivers. I cannot understand how it was that he disappeared, leaving nowhere any trace of his going. I sit here in the late afternoon, and the long lances of shadow start from the garden fence and move slowly on, past the big sugar tree and past the beech tree, to halt for a moment at the little sugar tree that stands not fifty yards from my chair.

When they have moved past, I see that the hunched, dark shadow that seemed to me a rooster standing with his back to the western light is really only a clump of dog fennel. I see it happen like that almost every afternoon, and with it comes always a fresh wonder at the restless, hurried movements of human beings. The light can fall like that evening after evening on some tree or flower, and yet a man that one has known intimately can vanish, as we always say of Tom Rivers, off the face of the earth.

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?


It is the east and Juliet is the sun!


Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,


Who is already sick and pale with grief


That thou her maid art far more fair than she.


Be not her maid, since she is envious;


Her vestal livery is but sick and green,


And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.


It is my lady, O, it is my love!


O that she knew she were!


She speaks, yet she says nothing; what of that?


Her eye discourses, I will answer it.


I am too bold: 'tis not to me she speaks.


Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,


Having some business, do entreat her eyes


To twinkle in their spheres till they return.


What if her eyes were there, they in her head?


The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,


As daylight doth a lamp. Her eyes in heaven


Would through the airy region stream so bright


That birds would sing and think it were not night.


See how she leans her cheek upon her hand


O that I were a glove upon that hand,


That I might touch that cheek!

The supreme achievement of Greek architecture was the temple. In imperial Rome, or in any typical city of the Roman Empire, the most extensive and imposing buildings were secular, or nonreligious. Those included the basilicas, baths, amphitheaters, porticoes, and aqueducts. In Athens, on the other hand, or in any typical Greek city, there was little or nothing to compete with the temples and the sacred places associated with them. Public secular buildings, of course, there were. However, the little we know of them does not suggest that they often ranked among the architectural glories of the country. Private houses were in the best period of small pretensions. It was to the temple and its adjunct buildings that the architectural genius and the material resources of Greece were devoted. It is the temple, then, which we have above all to study.
Before beginning, however, to analyze the artistic features of the temple, it will be useful to consider the building materials which a Greek architect had at his disposal and his methods of putting them together. Greece is richly provided with good building stone. At many points there are inexhaustible stores of white marble. The island of Paros, one of the Cyclades, and Mount Pentelicus in Attica are simply masses of white marble, suitable as well for the builder as the sculptor. There are besides various beautiful colored marbles, but it was left to the Romans to bring these into use. Then there are many commoner sorts of stone ready to the builder's hand, especially the rather soft, brown limestones which the Greeks called by the general name of poros. This material was not rejected, even for important buildings. Thus the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, one of the two most important religious centers in the Greek world, was built of local poros. The same was the case with the numerous temples of Acragas (Girgenti) and Selinus in Sicily. An even meaner material, sun-dried brick, was sometimes, perhaps often, employed for cella walls. Where poros or crude brick was used, it was coated over with a very fine, hard stucco, which gave a surface like that of marble.
It is remarkable that no use was made in Greece of baked bricks before the period of Roman domination. Roof-tiles of terra-cotta were in use from an early period, and Greek travelers to Babylonia brought back word of the use of baked bricks in that country. Nevertheless Greek builders showed no signs of wanting to adopt baked bricks for their masonry.
Many subtle curves and sloping lines demonstrate the extraordinary nicety of Greek workmanship. A column of the Parthenon, with its inclination and its fluting, could not have been constructed without the most conscientious skill. In fact, the capabilities of the workmen kept pace with the demands of the architects. No matter how delicate the adjustment to be made, the task was perfectly achieved. And when it came to the execution of ornamental details, these were done with a free hand and with fine artistic feeling. The wall-band of the Erechtheum is one of the most exquisite things which Greece has left us.
Simplicity in general form, harmony of proportion, refinement of line-these are the great features of Greek columnar architecture.
One other type of Greek building, into which the column does not enter, remains to be mentioned-the theater. Theaters abounded in Greece. Every considerable city had at least one, and the ruins of these structures rank with temples and walls of fortification among the commonest classes of ruins in Greek lands. But in a sketch of Greek art they may be rapidly dismissed. That part of the theater which was occupied by spectators-the auditorium-was commonly built into a natural slope. There was no roof. The building, therefore, had no exterior, or none to speak of. Such beauty as it possessed was due mainly to its proportions. There was opportunity for elegance as well as convenience in the form given to the stone or marble seats with which the auditorium was provided.
