Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Evasion The summer world was full of beauty, beauty that mounted daily as the sap in the trees, as the tides under midsummer moons. Wealth was flung upon wealth, beauty upon beauty, glory upon glory, and Marian Copeland, to whom these things were as the life of her soul, lay dying. The accident had been so swift and terrible that neighbors forgot the disapproval with which they had always regarded her irresponsibility, her pagan love of nature and beauty, and her lack of principle as evinced in the bringing up of her boy, with whom since her husband´s death she had been more like a child than a mother. They spoke of her now with awestruck voices, wondering how she could die on a day of so much beauty, how she could die at all, - she for whom death seemed so much too still and solemn. Yet Marian Copeland was to die, and on this day, full as it was of the beauty that she loved. "She will not last till evening," said the great specialist who had been summoned from Boston. "Then I suppose that some one must tell the boy," suggested the specialist´s assistant. But the famous man was indifferent upon the subject.
