Create a detailed description of a dreary scene in the wilderness with a gnarled oak tree with gouges.
assistant
Festooned with ropy grey blankets of moss, the gnarled limbs of an enormous oak stretch overhead. Deep gouges, the width of a finger or more, mar the bark of the forest giant. The edges of the gouges are weathered, proving the damage occurred some time ago, yet the tree still weeps viscous dribbles of sap.
