A rainy day – such as reminded me of mushrooms – a white shower at noon at even the sky became a mass of weird rhythms and the zenith howled with orange, the whole earth was lit up – a swift rainy wind from out of the south-west –
I have a momentary feeling of peace tonight – tomorrow in the depths no doubt –
