Opis: Invisible Tides (Classic Reprint) - Seymour Beatrice Kean

Excerpt from Invisible Tides

Years afterwards it sometimes seemed to Hilary Sargent that the first really interesting event which had occurred in his life was the receipt, soon after his seventh birthday, of the letter from his mother in America - a phenomenon none the less wonderful because its recipient was not enough of a scholar to decipher its meaning without skilled assistance. But in reality, of course, Hilary knew quite well that lots of interesting things had happened to him long before this - in that remote past which had been his fifth and sixth years of existence. Yet the memory of these things, it could not be denied, had become somewhat blurred, so that to look back at them was rather like looking at a familiar landscape through a faint mist - one could not be sure that one saw what actually existed. Here and there a tall object, like a church spire, would stand out boldly challenging recognition, but for the rest one could not help believing that the mist altered perspectives and mischievously inverted values.

Certainly two figures from out this very early period of Hilary's existence were rather like the church spire - in that they did stand out with amazing clearness. The first of these figures was that of a tall slim woman with dark hair curled about her forehead and a voice that seemed to lift the heart right out of a small boy's body. This was Hilary's mother, and with her nearly all his earliest recollections had to do.
