Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Princess of the Moor: Das Haideprinzesschen The tiny stream as it flows through the silent moor - how like is it to a soliraty traveler! Its rippling waves know nothing of the fierce joy with which more stormy waters rush toward a valley, but dance gayly over the smooth stones and pebbles, which offer no resistance, between low banks of never-ending alder trees and willows. On either side the boughs have met and intertwined, till even the sky above can scarcely penetrate and discover this little stream, which like a vein courses with exuberant; life throughout this despised country. Even so, on a larger scale, has many a false tongue misrepresented in the world at large these extensive plains of Northern Germany. Friends, be persuaded just for once to pay a summer visit to the haide. It does not indeed rear its tall form toward the sky; the glowing diadem of the Alps or a crown of rhododendrons you will seek in vain; no crest of stone, as in the Niedergebirges, or broad sparkling stream circling her bosom like a cold steel chain will you find there; but the heather blooms, and with its bell-shaped blossoms of lilac and red casts a royal mantle of brilliant hues studded with myriads of golden bees over the soft undulations of the land. Far in the distance extends the sandy plain from which the haide vegetation draws the scanty nourishment it requires; and the long dark line standing out against the horizon, in which the plain suddenly terminates, is a forest, a dense majestic mass of foliage such as you will rarely see equaled.
