Dangerous Ages by Rose Macaulay explores women, families, reflection (philosophy).
Dangerous Ages is a work by Rose Macaulay. Its subjects include Women, Families, Reflection (Philosophy).
From the opening pages: “Neville, at five o'clock (Nature's time, not man's) on the morning of her birthday, woke from the dream-broken sleep of summer dawns, hot with the burden of two sheets and a blanket, roused by the multitudinous silver calling of a world full of birds. They chattered and bickered about the creepered house, shrill and sweet, like a hundred brooks running together down steep rocky places after snow. And, not like brooks, and strangely unlike birds, like, in fact, nothing in the world except a cuckoo clock, a cuckoo shouted foolishly in the lowest boughs of the great elm across the silver lawn.”
