Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thirteen All Told It was a curious thing how Wilberforce Keith hankered after that house in St. John´s Wood. It was all the more curious because never before in his life had he wanted a house. A couple of rooms, a few good books, a piano, a violin and his liberty constituted his idea of what was necessary for the enjoyment of life. Certainly not a house with all its awful and terrifying responsibilities and its puzzling limitations. Puzzling, because the greater the space, the more rigid the limitations. He had always noticed that. It was as if Abstract Space had said: "If you attempt to make me concrete, you´ll lose me - you´ll lose the sense of me." That immense house of Eridge´s, for instance. You could feel the walls pressing on you, the ceilings high enough in all conscience, yet bearing down on your head. You simply couldn´t breathe. The wonder was that you got out alive. And a still greater wonder that anyone remained alive there, year in, year out. A small house was safer because it attempted no rivalry with an Abstract Idea. The walls didn´t press against you; the ceilings, however low, didn´t rest on your head, for the simple reason that you weren´t expecting Space.
