Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tamarisk Town In the hollow of the hills that, to the North, melted into the Sussex Weald and, to the South, broke and crumbled into the sea, Marlingate lay with the green of the tamarisks hazing its streets. The town itself was a timible of blacks and reds, a mass of broken colours flung between the hills, into the little scoop between the woods and the sea. It lay there like a thing flung down, heaped and broken, rolling to the very edge of the waves, and held from falling into them only by its thick, battered Town Wall. A mist generally hung over it, the webbing and clotting of its sea breezes as their spindrift met the homely things of its atmosphere - the grey hearth-smoke, the stewing heat of the town´s crooked ways, the dew that refreshed the tamarisks at night. There was nearly always this fog of smoke and spray over Mariingate, melting its reds through purple into the deep, dancing blue of the sea; only now and then the colours came out clearly, blocks of black and red, with slashes and slices of white, and the old grey mouldings of church and Town Hall with their battlemented shadows. Then the weather-wise spoke of rain, and those wise in other ways than the weather´s, saw in the town a queer, changeling beauty, as if it lay between the hills a fairy´s town.
