• El viento del atardecer causó tal alboroto entre unos viejos y altos olmos que había al fondo del jardín, que ni mi madre ni miss Betsey pudieron evitar mirar en aquella dirección. Los olmos se inclinaban unos hacia otros, como gigantes que susurraran secretos, y después de unos segundos de tal reposo, caían en un violento revuelo, agitando sus salvajes brazos, como si sus últimas confidencias fueran realmente demasiado perversas para su tranquilidad.

The street is Pyncheon Street; the house is the old Pyncheon House; and an elm-tree, of wide circumference, rooted before the door, is familiar to every town-born child by the title of the Pyncheon Elm.

• If your first Christmas tree is a wilting eucalyptus and if you're normally troubled by heat and sand... then, to have just at the age when imagination is opening out, suddenly find yourself in a quiet Warwickshire village, I think it engenders a particular love of what you might call central Midlands English countryside. Based on good water, stones and elm trees and small quiet rivers and so on, and of course, rustic people about.

• Not only is the day waning, but the year. The low sun is fiery and yet cold behind the monastery ruin, and the Virginia creeper on the Cathedral wall has showered half its deep-red leaves down on the pavement. There has been rain this afternoon, and a wintry shudder goes among the little pools on the cracked, uneven flag-stones, and through the giant elm-trees as they shed a gust of tears.
