Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Heart of a Child Prologue The little girl who is the subject of this book was a child of freedom. Although she loved Shakespeare with an ever-growing affection, she was never tied to books. Her first desire always was to "explore," whether in the attic at home, or in the woods and fields, or in strange cities, or in books. Her earliest explorations were out-of-doors. She had that close intimacy with nature which only children and poets may possess. When she was a mere baby she would trudge about for hours holding some cherished blossom or some green leaf tipped with red clasped tight in her little hand, content to watch and listen and finding every moment some new thing to admire. She was sensitive to natures moods. The wind was her playfellow on boisterous days; on a sultry, cloudy morning, she whispered, It listens like rain. And, at a later age, she declared, Everybody who is well and can be out-of-doors must be perfectly happy. But to separate nature from human life is as unnatural to children as to poers. To this child and Her little sister, the sea held strange stories and the woods were hung with mysteries. They had their fairy house in the nearest pine grove, where seashells gathered the dew for the fares baths and pigeon vines wreathed the magic circle where they came every night to dance, and stones and ferns formed grottoes for their conclaves.
