Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Members of the Family When this October comes, twenty years will be sped since the author of these Western tales sat down one evening to begin his first tale of the West, and - will you forgive him a preamble of gossip, of retrospection? Time steps in between the now that is and the then that was with a vengeance; it blocks the way for us all; we cannot go back. When the old comer, the old place, the old house, wear the remembered look, beckon to the memory as if to say, No change here I then verily is the change worst, the shell most empty, the cheat well-nigh too piercing. In a certain garden I used to plunder in 1866, the smell to-day of warm, dusty strawberries... But did we admit to our companionship ghosts only, what would living be. I continue to eat strawberries. As for smells, they re worse than old melodies, I think. Lately I was the sport of one. My train was trundling over the plains - a true train of the past, half freight, half passenger, cars of an obsolete build, big smoke-stack on the archaic engine, stops for meals, inveterate news-boy with bad candy, bad novels, back bananas - a dear old horrible train, when magic was suddenly wrought.
