Explore "Dame Care" by Hermann Sudermann on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Winter came and went. The heath was covered with snow and became / green again. The ranunculus lifted up their golden heads. The / juniper sent forth its tender shoots, and the warble of the lark sounded / from out the blue sky.
Only to the dismal Howdahs spring would not come. Paul had, indeed, made / it possible to procure corn for sowing, and a wooden building already / stood erected on the place of ruin, but the hope for better times had / still not come. Dull and joylessly he did his duty, and deeper and / deeper the lines became traced upon his forehead. He brooded over things / by himself more than ever, and the fear that he had committed perjury / weighed heavily upon him.
