skyland

A census-designated place in Douglas County, Nevada, United States.

The sky.

Look to the woodlands where the doves / Crowd with their murmurs green alcoves; / Look to the skylands where the clouds / Mantle the East with their glory-shrouds.

And the winds from the skylands brought / Over the illimitudes, a thought:— / A thought I could not understand, / That earth lay shadowed ’neath God’s hand.

A mythical abode of gods or spirits in the sky; a heaven.

“How, how, sister,” greeted Keyahanhi, recalled from the skylands by her welcome coming.

Manitou from the skylands once did score / Where the people today have built their homes.

A land above the sky, such as a floating city or another planet.

She then went to Miss Green’s house who, when she heard the sound of the six pipe flute, expected to see her husband return from the skyland. She opened the door. Instead, it was the tiger demon who touched the hem of her skirt causing her to fall down in a dead faint.

Tearing his eyes from the skylands, he called, “You warned me that Blood was going to catch me, back there in the city while you were renting these donkeys for us. What do you think he’ll do to me if he does?”
