Jack Vance, who for my money is one of the best ever and just turned 95 last year, has said that one of the best descriptions for mood ever was from the first description of Mars in ‘Princess.

Burroughs descriptions of mars were amazingly accurate in the sense that his vision of mars was one of a planet growing cooler and drier as it died. This was well before we knew much at all about mars.
