Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Reaper There is a little world of islands within the fastness of the Northern Sea where the years turn so softly from to-morrow into yesterday, that they are scarce marked but by the upspringing of fresh crops of wee things, that presently come to be dandling bairns of their own. The old men forget the count of their days; and the old women cling to the fringes of immortality. From the digging-up of clods in chilly April to the gathering in of the frost-bitten harvest, time is measured by the herring seasons; and from the kindling of Yule-fires to the last of the weddings, by the catches of haddock. For the great fact of life is the sea. Baby eyes open upon its splendors and reflect its clear cerulean blues; bairnies and gulls and whaups share the treasures of the beach after a storm; lassies and laddies trudge up the high moorlands to the school on the hilltop, and the sea all round is the rim of their world.
