Friday – July 8 –
A Notice in Times, that Kenneth Grahame had died. – it occupies my mind at my waking moments all night – This morning thinking of his “Wind in the Willows” and the delight it gave me when I was a youth. I arose early and walked east to the dam. The Early morning wind was there, but how much water has gone under the bridge since I first dreamed of misty wind thru early morning willows! –
