O knihe

Excerpt from The Garden of Dreams

Ith long, swinging steps the man skirted the little valley and, facing the rising sun took the road to the right that wound upward over the mountain. There marched, visualized before him, recol lections of other times, when, bareheaded even as now, freckled-faced, and often, dirty, he had trotted happily along intent on the morning's business the filling, perhaps, of his shiny pail with the wild strawberries which grew scarlet drops of concentrated lusciousness beneath their protecting leaves of green - ln the wooded outskirts of old Al Somer's meadow. Almost he was tempted to turn aside, to slip down through the fields at his left in search of them, until he remembered that they would not be ripe for a month or more. The spring is late this year, he mur mured regretfully.

Ah well, it could afford to be late. For him it would always be spring hereafter. He threw back his head, unconsciously his hands sought his pockets, his lips drew up in a whistle - the tune was one that had been pop ular with the country lads when he was a boy.
