An excerpt from the work:
Last night I dreamed that I was back in Manderley. It seemed to me that I was standing at the iron gate in front of the driveway and could not enter. The path is blocked, on the gate - a chain and a lock. I called the porter, but received no answer, and, pressing my face against the rusty bars, I saw that the gatehouse had been abandoned.
No smoke rose from the chimney; Then, as happens in a dream, I was suddenly filled with miraculous powers and, like an incorporeal spirit, penetrated through the barrier. The winding driveway went off into the distance in front of me, winding around, as in the old days, but the farther I went, the more I was overcome by the feeling that it had become different: narrow, neglected, not at all like itself. At first I was at a loss, I could not understand anything, and only when I had to bow my head so as not to stumble on a low-hanging branch, I guessed what had happened. Nature has reclaimed her rights; sneaking up unnoticed, advancing step by step, she invaded the alley, grabbed it with long tenacious fingers. The trees that had threatened her for so long had finally won. Dark, coming out from under the bridle, they approached its very edges. Beeches with white bare branches leaned towards each other, their branches intertwined in a strange embrace, forming a vault above me, like a church arcade. There were other trees that I did not recognize, squat oaks and gnarled elms, standing side by side with beeches; they sprouted from the silent ground next to monstrous shrubs and other plants, none of which I could remember.
