Farewell Summer | novel by Bradbury | Britannica In the Breton romance, King Orfeo , Orpheus leaves the court, distraught after the loss of Eurydice, living wild in the forest, in a sort of shamanic disintegration. One day, he sees the fairy hunt passing, and follows. The next bit is quite significant. Hunting was a social marker then, restricted to the nobility, and was seen as a useful contribution to the community, culling deer which might have destroyed crops. Orfeo has rediscovered himself, his humanity, and his role in the community. It is only then that he is able to recognise his lost wife Erodys riding among the fairy host, and to follow it back under the grey stone, into the otherworld. Moniage 1: Orpheus in the Wilderness Orpheus deserts his post. Only the harp goes with him, and he plays in doorways, under arches, in the space between the human places. When he sings, the trees bend down to listen. No-one else will. He hears voices in the dark, and follows them out into wilder places, to be alone. He comes on children, picking brambles, noisy, carefree, quick and neat as birds. They do not notice him, and go their way unfrightened, and he hears the women call them home to breakfast. When they are gone, the silence stirs him like a changing wind. This is Tappoch Broch near Torwood, as otherworldly as the central belt can get! My bramble-picking only led me as far as blackberry and apple crumble, and very nice it was, too! Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.

FAREWELL SUMMER | Kirkus Reviews Apart from time and the change of season, their primary enemy is Calvin Quartermain, gray-haired member of the school board. And then, with one burst of gunfire from a cap pistol, Doug finds himself the leader of a revolution. Skirmishes begin, with both sides suffering casualties in one form or another. Doug and curmudgeonly Quartermain are decades apart in age, but they have a common heritage. The small-town setting is really just window-dressing for the two main characters. The Civil War looms large in this story, framing each section, with Doug carrying the bulk of the narrative. In his mind, all he can do is lash out at the world. For Quartermain, the battle of wits is a challenge to his manhood. He has the most to lose.
