The Apple Orchard Come let us watch the sun go downand walk in twilight through the orchard's green. Does it not seem as if we had for longcollected, saved and harbored within usold memories? To find releases and seeknew hopes, remembering half-forgotten joys, mingled with darkness coming from within, as we randomly voice our thoughts aloudwandering beneath these harvest-laden treesreminiscent of Durer woodcuts, brancheswhich, bent under the fully ripened fruit, wait patiently, trying to outlast, toserve another season's hundred days of toil, straining, uncomplaining, by not breakingbut succeeding, even though the burdenshould at times seem almost past endurance.
