The sun had not yet appeared above the tree-tops but the eastern sky was fantastically streaked with red and gold and purple, and above these hung many bright clouds, some of them no more than rosy flakes, and beyond them a pale-green sky. Every leaf and blade and petal stood out singly, clear-cut, significant, proud.

A flock of gulls flew high above his head uttering their plaintive pleasure in the morning.If anything you've read here has put you off reading the book (or the series), that's perfectly fine as you probably wouldn't have enjoyed it anyway.
