it wasn39。t as if the area was was more than puzzled, I was enquiry into the route of the new bypass to the village was due to take place shortly, and I wanted to know what it was that motivated it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods.“I39。ve always loved this place”, she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for all used called it 39。Lovers lane39。.It39。s not much of a lane, and it doesn39。t go anywhere important, but that39。s why we all came be away from people, to be by ourselves ” she was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be gazed from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the bypass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the munity overriding the opinions of private individuals, I said village was quite a dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old woman39。s whims.“Take this tree”, she said pausing after a short while.“To you it is just that, a unlike many others here”.She gently touched the bark.“Look here, under this branch, what can you see?”“It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife” I said after a cursory inspection.“Yes, that39。s what it is!” she said softly.“There are letters and a lover39。s heart”.I looked again, this time more heart was still there and there was a suggestion of an arrow through letters on one side were indistinct, but on the other an 39。R39。 was clearly visible with what looked like an 39。I39。 after it.“Some budding romance?” I asked, “did you know who they were?”“Oh yes, I knew them”, said Mary Smith, “it says RH loves MS”.I realised that I could be getting out of my depth, and longed to be in my office, away from here and this old lady, snug, and with a mug of tea in my went on …“He had a penknife with a spike for getting stones from a horse39。s hoof, and I helped him to carve my were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the had guessed of was the last evening we ever spent together,because he went away the next day, back to his Unit.”Mary Smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed.“His mother showed me the telegram.39。Sergeant R Holmes …..Killed in action in the 9)invasion of France39。”.“39。I had hoped that you and Robin would one day get married” she said, “He was my only child, and I would have loved to be a Granny, they would have been such lovely babies39。she was like that!”“Two years later she too was dead.39。Pneumonia, following a chill on the chest39。 was what the doctor said, but I think it was an old fashioned broken child would have helped both of us.”There was a further Smith gently caressed the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him.“And now they want to take our tree away from me.” Another quiet sob, then she turned to me.“I was young and pretty then, I could have had anybody, I wasn39。t always the old woman you see here had everything I wanted in life, a lovely man, health and a future to look forwards to”.She paused again and looked breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound.“There were others, of course, but not a patch on my Robin!” she said strongly.“And now I have nothingand more while watching would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life would have been more ”I love yous“...more ”I39。m sorrys...but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it Stars on a Snowy NightThe thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero, but still chose to sleep in the porch as the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots, yet I had bee so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and had been snowing all night, not a single star in roommate and I, each wrapped in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting exclaimed pointing to something afar, “Look, Venus in rising!” I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, “It’s Jupiter over there!”More and more lights came into sight as we kept pointing here and from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a starstudded the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamplights now easily passed for as many lost in a makebelieve world, I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when I woke up from my dreams in the dead of I found consolation even on a lonely snowy night!第三篇:雪景文章美文雪中的景色壯麗無(wú)比,天地之間渾然一色,只能看見一片銀色,好象整個(gè)世界都是用銀子來(lái)裝飾而成的。
