Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sun and Shadow in Spain: With Pictures From Photographs and Frontispiece in Color On the silver sands of First Beach in the Island of Rhode Island, children were at play digging foundations, raising fortifications, laying out the parks and streets of a city. They worked long and hard; time was short, and the tide was coming in. Each wave, as it hissed and broke upon the beach, sent its thin line of foam a little nearer the brave outer wall of the town. Then came the inevitable inundation; the children shrieked with glee as the city wall crumbled, the church steeple toppled down, the courthouse collapsed. When nothing of the thriving sand city remained, save its trees and flowers, - floating bunches of red and green seaweed - the children, tired with much digging, sat down and looked across the water. "What is over there?" asked the youngest, pointing an uncertain finger to the East. "That is the Atlantic Ocean," answered the eldest, "the nearest land is the coast of Spain" "When I grow up I shall go there," said the youngest, "to see what Spain is like."
