Beyond the forests, beyond the rivers, among the ravines and hills, there is an old wooden manor house. Not tall, but long and wide, with a big porch, leaning on white stems, full of lovely corners, cozy and warm, a faithful host to all our joys and sorrows. In front of it, a large sleepy pond with mysterious depths, gilded in the evenings by the moon and the stars, and a garden that is singing, inhaling, dreaming. The garden lovingly holds the pond and the manor house – its faithful companions close to its broad chest, and whispers to both of them some unending tales, some mysterious matters, some long, eternal sorrows. And they listen in turn – silent and thoughtful.
