Sapling

Last sunrays fainted over the grassy hill. Mumbling cattle could barely be heard among the rattling cicadas. Hot and humid air posed a striking contrast against the falling darkness. Even the day of hard work around the house and in the barn could not make her fall asleep. What an odd encounter it was! The stranger came to her out of nowhere, telling that she should be ready by midnight. Then he only wished her a happy day and disappeared as suddenly as he arrived, leaving her with only the blunt company of her grazing sheep. Her parents were getting ready for sleep but she could not stop thinking if what happened that day was a mere vision or reality. Chastia GREW RESTLESS.

Słowo RESTLESS oznacza NIESPOKOJNY, POBUDZONY. Może oznaczać dosłownie brak odpoczynku, jak w RESTLESS NIGHT (NIEPRZESPANA NOC) czy RESTLESS SLEEP (sen, który nie daje odpoczynku), ale może również służyć do określenia stanu pobudzenia czy nawet niepokoju. Wtedy możemy używać czasowników BECOME, GET, FEEL czy właśnie GROW.

Za ilustrację posłużył nam dziś obraz Jeana Françoisa Milleta pt. "The Sheepfold, Moonlight".
