Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wild Grapes Every afternoon, that month of April, David Ghent, the boy, and his grandmother Arnold, walked in the garden, down the narrow, pebbly path bordered by sprawling blackthorn bushes, to the stables. The garden in defiance of English tradition rioted in wild and fragrant disorder, around old Ghent House. David´s father did not care for flowers and refused to pay for the necessary services of a gardener. This unnatural indifference of a landowner extended to David, his son, whom he treated like the garden, with neglect. Both might thrive as best they could; only happily for David he had a grandmother who watched over him, while the garden had no one. So coarse grass waged war upon gentler flowers which had been planted long ago by David´s mother. But a garden is not easily suppressed. With the spring, forgotten seeds stirred and burst in a weblike harmony of blossom among the grasses. Later in June always came roses, struggling thornily for space and air. The trees, grave hoary oaks and elms, withstood all seasons. This April the grass smelt of recent rains. Thin leaves unfurled; birds rustled in the branches, and the scent of Earth in travail drifted subtly like a vague sadness.
