[inscription reads] " the foliage turns to fine feathery stuff. A bat pursues its silken flight in irregular circles, searching for food. / Killdeer wails. / The Katydid chorus is continual but unnoticed. For minutes we hear it subconsciously & then all at once particular attention is called to it & its seems as tho (sic) it were just commencing. / The yellow glow is fading turning to deep orange. The elms look like some beings black as they are. / Less noticeable is the pulsation of crickets. "
