The picturesque hollow

O lugar em que se achava era uma pequena baixa cavada entre dois outeiros pedregosos que se elevavam naquelas paragens. A relva que tapeçava essas fráguas, as árvores que haviam nascido nas fendas das pedras, e reclinando sobre o vale, teciam um lindo dossel de verdura, tornavam aquele retiro pitoresco.

The setting

The place where she was lay in a small hollow scooped between two stony hillocks that rose in those parts. The turf that carpeted those crags, the trees that had sprung from the clefts of the rocks and, leaning over the valley, wove a lovely canopy of greenery, made that retreat picturesque.
