Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of the Pampas They say that sorrow and at last ruin comes upon the house on whose roof the shadow of the ombu tree falls; and on that house which now is not, the shadow of this tree came every summer day when the sun was low. They say, too, that those who sit much in the ombu shade become crazed. Perhaps, sir, the bone of my skull is thicker than in most men, since I have been accustomed to sit here all my life, and though now an old man I have not yet lost my reason. It is true that evil fortune came to the old house in the end; but into every door sorrow must enter - sorrow and death that comes to all men; and every house must fall at last.
