I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love.

A breath breathed from a passing breeze is not the whole wind, neither is it just the last of what has passed and the first of what will come, but is more--let me see--more like a single point plucked on a single strand of a vast spider web of winds, setting the whole scene atingle. That way; it overlaps. . . as prehistoric ferns grow from bathtub planters.
