Is it true, she said, that England is like a dream? Because one of my friends who married an Englishman wrote and told me so. She said this place London is like a cold dark dream sometimes. I want to wake up.Well, I answered annoyed, that is precisely how your beautiful island seems to me, quite unreal and like a dream.But how can rivers and mountains and the sea be unreal?And how can millions of people, their houses and their streets be unreal?More easily, she said, much more easily. Yes a big city must be like a dream.
