MARCH 59 



Growing in greater clusters, they are as a golden fringe to 

 the pink border of almond blossoms woven on the spreading 

 blue of the sky. How fast the feathered choir increases ! 



The birds and flowers give to me just the same happiness 

 that flower and bird gave to Emerson when he wrote of 



" Broad orchards resonant with bees," 

 that revealed to him the 



" Lore of colour and sounds, 

 The innumerable tenements of beauty."
