Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ultimate Moment It was mid-October in the Elkhorn valley of Nebraska. Through the long summer the round, full breasts of the hills had faithfully suckled a big family of crops; but now the matured grain had gone away to begin its own career, leaving the mother-prairie alone. She seemed to feel the release from responsibility without quite knowing whether to be glad or sorry to surrender it. The look of the burden-bearer was gone from her face; she was even showing some furtive tokens of the jocund humors of a belated youth, such as patient women show whose first real enjoyment of personal freedom comes only after the long cares of maternity. She was resting at ease, indolently amusing herself with a big lapful of sunshine, while insisting by every means in her power that she had not lost strength or purpose. She was ruled by a desire that may not be reconciled with itself - the desire for a long life without old age.
