En smakebit på søndag: The Secret Garden av Frances Hodgson Burnett
“One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live forever and ever and ever. One knows it sometimes when one gets up at the tender solemn dawn-time and goes out and stands out and throws one's head far back and looks up and up and watches the pale sky slowly changing and flushing and marvelous unknown things happening until the East almost makes one cry out and one's heart stands still at the strange unchanging majesty of the rising of the sun--which has been happening every morning for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. One knows it then for a moment or so. And one knows it sometimes when one stands by oneself in a wood at sunset and the mysterious deep gold stillness slanting through and under the branches seems to be saying slowly again and again something one cannot quite hear, however much one tries. Then sometimes the immense quiet of the dark blue at night with the millions of stars waiting and watching makes one sure; and sometimes a sound of far-off music makes it true; and sometimes a look in someone's eyes.”

Mari på bloggen Flukten fra Virkelighetenhjälper oss att bjuda varandra på smakbitar ur de böcker vi läser just nu. Idag har hon lånat ut värdskapet till Betraktninger. Alltid kul att få lite boktips och lite försmak. Se andras smakbitar för dagenHÄR!
Den engelska drottningen skulle nog tacka författaren och dig också för att du bevarar det "kungliga" ordvalet och språket på det sättet." One is very glad that the royal English survives even in Sweden. One should perhaps consider to pay Sweden a visit" - nå't i den stilen:-)
Dette var en av mine absolutte favorittbøker da jeg var barn. Jeg leste den om igjen og om igjen. Det er ikke så mange år siden jeg leste den sist, bare for å se hvordan jeg ville se på den som voksen og jeg likte den like godt nå og :-D
