Even better when it is the spoken rather than the written word.

This is an extract from some audio tapes I am listening to for the umpteenth time during work hours (right now actually

).

Much better spoken, but re-reading it I hear the inflections with the Danish accent.

The Out of Africa tapes are not exactly the same as the book and are read by a professional actress. However some of the other stories are read by Karen Blixen herself.

Hopefully I will be able to post more of the small stories and quotations.
