Today, the man of our story, a farmer, has left his home and has come back to see his now expropriated property for the last time before the dam gates are shut and a huge lake swallows up
the landscape which has been so dear to him. How can everything be the same and yet be so
different! His house, which had always seemed huge to him, has now become tiny in
comparison with the gigantic wall built across the river gorge. The tall poplar trees, once again,
as they have always done, give him shade on this summer´s evening, but his mind is filled with
the vision of the rising water approaching their tops and finally covering them. The sheep-hut
and fences, which he had always been so careful and concerned about, now make no difference
to him. The very ground under his feet, the most solid of all references, is about to lose that
quality. No doubt the new perspective has already changed everything.
