The lake was now swarming with wild fowl of various kinds; crowds of ducks were winging their way across it from morning till night, floating in vast flocks upon its surface, or rising in noisy groups if an eagle or fish-hawk appeared sailing with slow, majestic circles above them, then settling down with noisy splash upon the calm water.
Somehow one never realizes them." "That is what father says that young people are not really hard-hearted, only they do not realize things; their imagination just skims over the surface.
