English Summary/英文概要: SHE LAY reading on her bed and heard the planes over the farm, tried to imagine what the
snowy land with the canal looked like in the pilot’s eyes. The snaking paved road lined with
forests and fields, a leftover from the old ox path, led past the monastery to Bovenau and
divided the farmyard in two. Crossing a steel bridge spanning the Entengraben in a gentle arch,
one reached the west side and the white-painted manor-house. Dominated by a portico on four
columns – scalloped Doric plaster – it was covered in tiles and had elegant bay windows with
French shutters, in which the lime tree in the courtyard was reflected.
Facing it was the thatched roof of the byre designed for three hundred animals with a
hayloft that loomed further into the sky that many churches in the Gau. Hanging from the gable
was a bell with which milking times were rung, and the gate was covered with stickers of bright
painted metal, awards from breeders’ associations and agricultural fairs. The equipment barn
ran along the side of the farmyard to the field; enormous ploughs with shiny polished
ploughshares were kept in there, tractors and an old grain binder with stalks from the last
harvest still hanging from its hasp wheel.
But of course the pilots couldn’t see that, the roof was undamaged. If they had flown
over the western part of the farm and the little park bordering the old Eider Canal behind the
manor-house, they looked down first on the dairy with its green glazed parapets. The hay barn,
a poultry-house, various stables and a smithy stood on the other side of the road. Some of the
brick buildings which were barely used these days were even older than the manor-house and
already falling down. Each new storm stripped a little more thatch from the roofs and revealed
the mildew-black walls or nests of rats and martens.
