I lived in Port Stewart, one
of the small villages on the coast. I rented a small room at the top of an
old damp two-storey Victorian terrace house. The house was the last one in
the terrace and from its window I could look out on the grey, ever-restless
ocean.
8__________
The weather in that part of the North of Ireland was never the kindest,
though when the summer came the landscape around us, the easy access to
Donegal and to the remoter parts of the North gave the area its own particular
delight.
An old retired
couple who owned the house lived in two rooms on the ground floor. 9_______His
bent figure would brave even Port Stewart’s weather as he walked along the
sea front.
I never saw the old
man at any other time apart from these walks. 10_________His wife, his
second, would sit quietly in the kitchen beside the fire constantly knitting
and offering us cups of tea as we came in from the pub or back from studying.
She never bothered us much, was always friendly and enjoyed a cup of tea with
those of us who would sit and chat with her.
11_________
We were not surprised, aware even then that age can be cruel. But what moved
me most was his rapid worsening, the fact that I never again saw him walking
bent double against the wind, and the sight of his walking stick always lying
in the hall. It became a strange kind of symbol.
12_________
The fact that we were only aware of this old man's illness through his
rasping cough and his wife's nursing him gave the house an air of heavy
sadness.
One evening, I came
in from the cold and went I straight to the kitchen to heat myself at the
fire. Mrs. Paul sat alone. There was a silence I couldn't understand. I
recall now that her knitting needles were for once not in evidence. 13________
Her face was very still.
It took her some time to
acknowledge me coming into the room. 14________ She looked up slowly
and I remember her old, lined but still quite beautiful face as she said
calmly and without emotion: ‘My husband is dead’.

A Mr. Paul became ill very suddenly.
B ‘Would you like a cup of tea?’ I asked.
C Mr. Paul was in
his eighties and I remember him going for his nightly walk accompanied by his
walking stick and a small dog.
D Late into the night I could hear him coughing.
E However, I could not believe
what had happened.
F I can still remember the view from the window
and the constant changes in the sea.
G I heard him
occasionally in his own room.
H Neither was there any
steam coming out of the old kettle normally kept hot by the fire.

I. The
word hippie is derived from the words hip or hep that mean «understanding, knowing». Their
philosophy and subculture originally appeared in the 1960 's in the U.S.A.
Their ideals
include love, peace, freedom of self-expression, and non-conformity to
society’s rules. Against the background of speeches, reports, slogans, which
served as a smokescreen for corruption and moral crisis, hippies showed to
young people an alternative to all that. Unfortunately, now the hippie
community is becoming a place for really hopeless characters and those having
no ideas and principles. It is not so difficult to look like a traditional
hippie: a pair of old worn-out blue jeans, long hair tied with a bit of string
and a couple of decorative chains. This is often used by drug sellers. They
have noticed if you are wearing your hair long and your jeans are old, you have
a much easier time on the road.
Remarkably,
while in society at large the drug problem is becoming more serious, in the
hippie society it has stopped growing.
Many hippies didn’t belong to any organized religion and
preferred a more personal spiritual experience, having their own beliefs. Though
some of them took to Buddhism, Hinduism and the Jesus Movement.
Today hippies
are more socially active. They set up environmental groups and join charity
projects.
“Everything
that brings people together is good; everything that draws them apart is evil.
Love is the most powerful thing that brings people together.”
