He looked back at the land fondly, but without longing. The O high peak, purple in the fading light, stood against the sky. The valleys were shadowed with mystery. All these weeks he had lived close to this island and been grateful for its gift. But he had been born on a low island and all his life had been spent in the spaciousness of open sea and wind-swept palms. The sea was as much his element as the land. enjoy + to?!

It seemed to be coming from inside the closet, shining dimly through the curtain and the long strands of beads that Amanda had hung in front of the closet door. In the center of the faint glow of light, a dark shape emerged. It was unclear but definitely human-shaped a round head with two long glowing eyes above a neck and shoulders. No other physical features appeared on the face, and the eyes glowed more and more intensely, molded into the stark blackness of the face. David blinked his eyes and shook his head, but the figure just wiggled in constant motion, as if swaying against the wind. noisy and festive sad and miserable scary and mysterious calm and peaceful solemn and sacred 92

And when I wish to please myself with a lovely image of peace and contentment, I do not think of the Plain of haron, nor of the alley of Enna, nor of Arcadia, nor of Claude s pictures; but, feeling that the fairest fortune of my life is the right to be named with her, I whisper gently, to myself, with a smile for it seems as if my very heart smiled within me, when I think of her Prue and I.

After a few strokes she stopped swimming and stretched out a foot for the bottom. There it was, but the water had deepened more quickly than she d expected and was already up to her chest. The current had pushed her quickly down, with very little effort on her part. Instinctively she started to swim back against it.

5 I Today I participated in community service work in a garden area. What was great to see there was that most of the students barely took 20 minutes to finish their lunch. After lunch the mowing students divided up their areas for the rest of the day, and the shrubbery students decided to finish another area towards the back of the garden. The students in charge of the vegetables got right O OC back to work, and I found myself starting weeding again with the girls. We planted about 30 smaller flowers together and felt really good when we looked at the work from a distance. The hard work I put in the five hours was there, and I felt elated. I had no idea that I was in for such a meaningful experience through gardening. I realized that when people work hard together for a common goal, great work is accomplished. elate = encourage = was going to shrubbery proud and satisfied worried and concerned frustrated and disappointed calm and relieved ashamed and humiliated 6 A deep silence prevailed over the countryside, broken only by the sound of the northeast wind whistling through the black branches, wailing about the house, dying in gusts along the corridors. The hard frost had purified the air, and held the earth in its grip; the roads gave back every sound with the hard metallic ring which always strikes us with a new surprise; the heavy footsteps of some belated reveler, or a cab returning to Paris, could be heard for a long distance with unusual distinctness. Out in the courtyard a few dead leaves blown by some swirling gust found a voice for the night which had been silent. It was one of those sharp, frosty evenings that wring barren expressions of pity from our selfish ease for travelers and the poor. = and it was broken wring = squeeze reveler O festive hopeful urgent peaceful dreary 94

By now the entire sky was covered with clouds. It looked easier to keep angling to the left but quicker to go straight for the top. Anxious about being caught by a storm high on the peak and without shelter, I opted for the direct route. The ice steepened and thinned. I swung my left ice ax and struck rock. I aimed for another spot, and once again it glanced off unyielding diorite with a dull clank. And again, and again. It was a reprise of my first attempt on the north face. Looking between my legs, I stole a glance at the glacier more than two thousand feet below. My heart sank and my head pounded. Forty-five feet above me the wall eased back onto the sloping summit shoulder. opt for = choose = the time which (As I was) angle = move diorite lively and festive boring and lonely funny and exciting tense and frightening quiet and peaceful 95
