Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Seed of the Sun Early spring air was gorgeous with flying kites and flying clouds over the little short town with the little short name - a name, by the way, which the Japanese inhabitants could not pronounce because the letter will always be an obstacle to the fluent tongues of Nippon. The younger and more progressive referred to it as "Bry"; the conservative ones adhered to the Japanese name which they had given it when first they decided that the region round the old Bly tract was worthy of attention. Such of the villagers as could read English - these being in the majority - recognized the name Bly when they saw it, as they could, plainly painted in giant letters on the side of the packing house or less prominently displayed at either end of the Southern Pacific way-station. But to the slanting black eyes of its inhabitants Bly was, at best, a barbarian word. Indeed, as a settlement for Californians, the town of Bly had long since ceased to exist. Sparse February rains had been blown again into the Sierras, a north wind was drying away the good moisture of heaven, and the yellow folk of Bly - those sufficiently mature to worry about Nature´s whims - were collected in Mr. Sago´s general store, there to gather wisdom from the lips of the Honorable Sago or of the still more honorable Mr. S. Oki, local secretary of the Beneficent Society. Bow-legged little women, dressed in hand-me-down American clothes, were assembled on the porch of Mr. Sago´s establishment, a respectful distance removed from the conference of their lords.
