Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Ariadne of Allan Water The pale glory of an early spring sun shone full on the white pillars of the old Virginia home, casting a long rectangle of shadow over kitchen, barn, smoke-house, chicken-house, and various other outer buildings that stood at the rear. Beyond this cluster of humble roofs began the old apple orchard, now in an ecstasy of bloom. The roseate billows flowed into a gentle "dip," flooding the valley evenly, and scrambling, in some disorder, the slope of the further hillside. Near the top they paused abruptly at sight of a menacing line of ragged, gray bowlders, among which only a few young cedars had footing, and these seemed to scowl darkly as if defying anything so frivolous as a pink apple tree to gain their sky-poised eminence. On the flat altar of the nearest rock stood the blue-clad figure of a girl, Ariadne, a slim young goddess of the spring, giving and receiving homage. As she looked now upon the massed flowers at her feet, the child in her, nourished by fantastic stories of mythology, fairy lore, and old-world romances, began to weave conscious similes.
