A feeling has come over me that I have lost the aimless love of nature I formerly held — thoughts arose as to the practical use of a thing — I was wondering just now if I could innocently enjoy a fly sunning himself on a grape-vine leaf.
My dreamworld today was a sunlit April woods at sunset time, beyond which were immense misty valleys.
