doura

1 Giraffes and antelopes and ostriches are provided with the doura corn that grows in the interior.

2 The peasants in their gay-coloured clothing are ploughing the rich, red-brown soil for the late crop of doura.

3 He saw the brakes of sugar-cane waving, the tall doura swaying in the breeze, where only the sands had been.

4 Here are observed some vineyards, and a few patches of doura.

5 For several months he was heavily chained and fed on a daily handful of uncooked doura, such as is given to horses and mules.

6 The mountains drew farther apart, revealing in their place numerous villages, and fields of white Indian corn, doura, and sugar-cane.

7 He stopped at the edge of a field of doura.

8 Close to the right of the front of Medinet-Abu there are trees covered with yellow flowers; beyond are fields of doura.

9 Here and there, indeed, are scanty plantations of cotton, with a few patches of doura, barley, and wheat.

10 Creeping forward through the high doura, they were able to get within 300 yards of the enclosures.

11 He put out one lean, dark hand, and pulled at the heavily podded head of a doura plant.

12 And the silence, broken only by the faint rustle of the doura, was startling, was almost dreadful.

13 But the doura rises higher than the heads of the naked children who stand among it to watch you canter past.

14 Here and there the miniature forests of doura stood up almost still in the sunshine.

15 The smell of the putrefying corpses which lay around the walls and in the doura crop, together with the unhealthy climate and the filth of the town, was a fertile source of disease.

16 As I turned, far off in Cairo I saw the first lights glittering across the fields of doura, silvery white, like diamonds.
