An August Reverie. 207 



the outer world that offers such varied attractions ? 

 Let no thought of discovery creep in. It is 

 August, and a time of rest. If it will, let the 

 morning breeze transport you, or, better, drift with 



the tide. Be gay as a butterfly, but only in butter- 

 fly fashion. Do not be serious. Close your ears 

 if a bird scolds. Laugh your loudest when the 

 robin announces dawn.
