FROM MILTZOW TO LAUTERBACH
Every one who has been to school and still remembers what he was taughtthere, knows that Rügen is the biggest island Germany possesses, andthat it lies in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Pomerania. Round this island I wished to walk this summer, but no one would walkwith me. It is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into thelife of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place onanything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss athousand delicate joys tha...
LAUTERBACH AND VILM
A ripe experience of German pillows in country places leads me to urgethe intending traveller to be sure to take his own. The native pillowsare mere bags, in which feathers may have been once. There is nosubstance in them at all. They are of a horrid flabbiness. And theyhave, of course, the common drawback of all public pillows, they arehaunted by the nightmares of other people. A pillow, it is true, takesup a great deal of room in one's luggage, but in Rügen however simplyyou dress you are b...
FROM LAUTERBACH TO GÖHREN
The official on the steamer at the Lauterbach jetty had offered to takeme to Baabe when I said I wanted to go to Vilm, and I had naturallyrefused the offer. Afterwards, on looking at the map, I found that Baabeis a place I would have to pass anyhow, if I carried out my plan ofdriving right round Rügen. The guide-book is enthusiastic about Baabe,and says—after explaining its rather odd name as meaning Die Einsame,the Lonely One—that it has a pine forest, a pure sea air with ozone init, a clima...
FROM GÖHREN TO THIESSOW
We left Göhren at seven the next morning and breakfasted outside itwhere the lodging-houses end and the woods begin. Gertrud had boughtbread, and butter, and a bottle of milk, and we sat among thenightshades, whose flowers were everywhere, and ate in purity andcleanliness while August waited in the road. The charming little flowerswith their one-half purple and other half yellow are those that have redberries later in the year and are called by Keats ruby grapes ofProserpine. Yet they are not...
AT THIESSOW
My cousin Charlotte was twenty when I saw her last. Now she was thirty,besides having had an india-rubber cap on. Both these things make adifference to a woman, though she did not seem aware of it, and was lostin amazement that I should not have recognised her at once. I told herit was because of the cap. Then I expressed the astonishment I felt thatshe had not at once recognised me, and after hesitating a moment shesaid that I had been making too many faces; and so with infinitedelicacy did...
FROM THIESSOW TO SELLIN
Many a time have I wondered at the unworthy ways of Fate, at thepettiness of the pleasure it takes in frustrating plans that are smalland innocent, at its entire want of dignity, at its singularspitefulness, at the resemblance of its manners to those of anevilly-disposed kitchen-maid; but never have I wondered more than I didthat night at Thiessow. We had been for a walk after tea through the beechwood, up a hill behindit to the signal station, along a footpath on the edge of the cliff withbl...
FROM SELLIN TO BINZ
Suppose a being who should be neither man nor woman, a creature whollyremoved from the temptations that beset either sex, a person who couldlook on with absolute indifference at all our various ways of wastinglife, untouched by the ambitions of man, and unstirred by the longingsof woman, what would such a being think of the popular notion againstwhich other uneasy women besides Charlotte raise their voices, that theman should never be bothered by the cares of the house and the babies,but rath...
