Explore "Felix Lanzberg's Expiation" by Ossip Schubin on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Three years have passed since Linda left her father's house, and was no longer condemned to be called Harfink -- three years and seven months.
The trees have only recently lost their snowy blossoms; all are wrapped in soft young green, the whole earth seems bathed in new hope. It is a day in which death and misfortune seem like ghost stories, invented by old women -- no one believes them. The birds twitter joyously, and without all is fragrance, sunshine and flowers. Fragrance and sunshine fill the room where Elsa sits, her youngest child in her lap.
