Letters from my Windmill (Le idee di Susanna)

C’est de la que je vous écris, ma porte grande ouverte, au bon soleil.

Un joli bois de pin tout étincelant de lumière dégringole devant moi jusqu’au bas de la côte. A l’horizon, les Alpilles découpent leurs crêtes fines... Pas de bruit... A peine, de loin en loin, un son de fifre, un courlis dans les lavandes, un grelot de mules sur la route... Tout ce beau paysage provençale ne vit que par la lumière.

Alphonse Daudet, Lettres de mon moulin

I am writing to you from my windmill, with the door wide open to the brilliant sunshine.

In front of me, a lovely, sparklingly lit, pine wood plunges down to the bottom of the hill. The nearest mountains, the Alpilles, are far away, their grand silhouettes pressing against the sky…. There was hardly a sound to be heard; a fading fife, a curlew calling amongst the lavender, and a tinkle of mules' bells from somewhere along the track. The Provencal light really brings this beautiful landscape to life.
