How Mark Twain Used Today’s Evocative Word “LOFTY” to get ’em evocating!

*****

“We went down the glen after supper. It is beautiful—a mixture of sylvan loveliness and craggy wildness. A limpid torrent goes whistling down the glen, and toward the foot of it winds through a narrow cleft between  LOFTY  precipices and hurls itself over a succession of falls.

After one passes the last of these he has a backward glimpse at the falls which is very pleasing—they rise in a seven-stepped stairway of foamy and glittering cascades, and make a picture which is as charming as it is unusual.”
