The barn's fat shadow

The barn swung its fat shadow across the yard, holding it gently by dark wrists and letting it turn, turn, stretch out in the evening upon the ground but never slip. . . . . The mailbox stood soldierly by the road, capturing a man and releasing him, again and again.



Impressions of life as seen by a dog, from the novel The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski. A good summer read - the story of Hamlet retold on a dog breeding and training farm in rural Wisconsin, believe it or not. And the part of Ophelia is played by a dog!
