Jonathan Franzen - Freedom (597) lyrics

Within days of the Berglund's departure in a big rental truck, whose horn Walter tooted while Patty waved good-bye, a specialized company came and erected a high and cat-resistant fence around the entire property (Linda Hoffbauer, now that Patty was gone, dared to declare the fence somewhat ugly), and soon other workers came to gut the little Berglund house, leaving only the shell standing, as a haven for owls and swallows. To this day, free access to the preserve is granted only to birds and to residents of Canterbridge Estates, through a gate whose lock combination is know to them, beneath a small ceramic sign with a picture of the pretty young dark-skinned girl after whom the preserve is named.
