not_o forget_v that_o we_o see_v in_o these_o fall_a needle_n a_o bow_n like_o a_o rainbow_n of_o two_o colour_n white_a and_o a_o pale_a yellow_a like_o the_o sun_n reflect_v by_o the_o dark_a

we_o see_v far_o in_o spitzbergen_n that_o the_o sea_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o water_n send_v forth_o a_o vapour_n when_o the_o clold_n increase_v which_o vapour_n be_v turn_v into_o rain_n
