If the splendour of some intense passion had never suddenly glorified the spread-out ether of time in which our spirits float, should we feel such a strange yearning on looking at a sunset, with its tender preliminary flush, and then the rapid suffusions of scarlet and growth of gold?
Just as the boys had quietly tipped over one of the fish-frames, letting the partially dried fish slide to the ground, there were shouts in the dark of the Chinese village. "The enemy's coming, boys!" whispered Louis, and the lads rushed for the fence. Some boys caught their feet in the big, spread-out net, and fell, and rolled over, shaking with laughter.
It was quite a sight to see him standing with spread-out legs, half-naked, hairy arms, muscular chest, the knife lifted up in his right hand, and a vulgar smile on his thick lips, and many a one would have considered twice before he ventured on such a task.
Arbeit und Liebe, as their mother used to say, dropping into German whenever a sentence seemed to her to sound better that way Arbeit und Liebe: these were the two great things of life; the two great angels, as she assured them, under whose spread-out wings lay happiness. With a hungry zeal, with the violent energy of reaction, the Annas fell upon work. They started unpacking.
