Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pippin Pippin shut to the house door and stood outside in the fresh air of the morning. It was very early. He had caught the world half awake, half asleep. The grass was white with dew, the shadow of night still clung about the trees of the orchard, the birds in the lilacs were only twittering. The house behind him was in a dead sleep. Its deep eaves hung over blinded windows and no breath of household life went up from its chimneys. Pippin opened the garden gate, and let it fall to with a clatter behind him. He threw one glance back at his home, old and warm and patient, and swung off up the hill with the strong step of youth. He walked fast because he was setting out to see the world, and the world won´t wait for youth, although age finds it in less of a hurry. As he strode up the hill, between high banks starred with primroses and crowned with budding beeches, the earth suddenly stretched itself and woke up. Some men and women, and nearly all children, who live close to nature, know this moment when the earth springs up from its sleep, although most miss it, and cannot tell why the birds suddenly begin to shout in chorus.
