The moment the sun lifted his red face above the horizon, Peder
was up; and in summer, just after the face had dropped out of
sight, Peder was in bed again. . . . Strange old sun . . . He
often wondered what could make that face so red morning and
evening. Perhaps weariness with shining so hard all the time.
Since he himself often felt drowsy and full when evening came,
Peder could very well understand this. . . .
