1 "I looked down upon Tyrol," said the Moon, "and my beams caused the dark pines to throw long shadows upon the rocks. 2 I looked at the pictures of St. Christopher carrying the Infant Jesus that are painted there upon the walls of the houses, colossal figures reaching from the ground to the roof. 3 St. Florian was represented pouring water on the burning house, and the Lord hung bleeding on the great cross by the wayside. 4 To the present generation these are old pictures, but I saw when they were put up, and marked how one followed the other. 5 On the brow of the mountain yonder is perched, like a swallow's nest, a lonely convent of nuns. 6 Two of the sisters stood up in the tower tolling the bell; they were both young, and therefore their glances flew over the mountain out into the world. 7 A travelling coach passed by below, the postillion wound his horn, and the poor nuns looked after the carriage for a moment with a mournful glance, and a tear gleamed in the eyes of the younger one. 8 And the horn sounded faint and more faintly, and the convent bell drowned its expiring echoes." ← previous Twenty-first Eveningnext → Twenty-third Evening↑ back to Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/113/
