Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Girls and a Hermit "Life!" Moira Considine used the word with I dramatic emphasis. "I want to see life." She spelt the word mentally with a leaded capital, waving tanned, well-shaped hands at the rugged Kerry landscape, as if to point out that it was a mere rusty side-track on the world´s great railway. Mountains, dimly purple in summer´s haze, framed the picture, seen rising in majesty high above the rough peaks. Cones of smaller hills, crouching, humble subjects, at the monarch´s heels. A lake, the sky´s clear blue tinting it, rippled to shore through a belt of rushes, little wavelets, where the rushes ceased, mouthing at a pebbly shore. A fuchsia hedge, tangle of scarlet and green, edged the little garden, the lower bells dropping on the water. The west wind, blowing gently, brought with it clean scents of heather and peat, and a kiss of salt on its breath. Brooding over all was a peace such as only Ireland knows. But the three Miss Considines, in the folly of their youth, looked at none of these things. Familiarity had bred a bitter contempt of the lonely beauty.
