Description

A watercolor sketch of the Library building.

One sunny day in January 1944 I was woken up by the sudden blare of a bugle in the early morning. Later that day, as we breathed the mountain air in front of the library, it pierced the silence again. I recall the sun angling down onto the flagpole as the flag was slowly raised, as it flapped gently in the breeze. All eyes looked up, drawn to a symbol of the freedom we had been longing for.

在一九四四年一月一個陽光明媚的清晨，我被號角聲喚醒。我們在圖書館外駐足，深呼吸山脈裡的空氣。突然，刺耳的號角聲再一次打破了沉默。斜陽的光線與旗捍上半相碰。旗子隨隨上揚，一陣微風撫平了旗面的雛摺，每雙眼都向著自由的象徵盼望著。
