Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Liza of Bourke´s, and Other Stories In the garden are many trees and bushes, through which the sunlight falls in broad patches on the green grass beneath, speckled here and there with white clover. Outside is the broad, dusty, white road, baking hot in the full glare of a summer sun, but inside it is cool and shady; the weeping willows wave their long arms gently in the breeze, which makes a mournful sighing in the pines. And here the bees´ drowsy hum sounds as they fly from flower to flower, in an apparently aimless fashion, but always with one purpose in view. The cicada, hidden away in the thick greenery, sings his monotonous song, which vibrates through the hot air. His energy never seems to suffer diminution from the heat. The hotter the day the more persistent and penetrating is his rattle, until one longs for even an instant´s silence. At last he ceases, and grateful silence ensues, save for the low coo-coo of the doves, which comes pleasantly from the coolest and shadiest corner of the garden. Here in this sheltered comer, over-shadowed by tall pines and fragrant pepper trees, is the bath, into which all day long the water slowly drips from a tap above; and here come all the birds to bathe and feed, and discuss their affairs.
