A Prophesying Day 275 



means the seasons are joined and unified, and such 

 a day was yesterday, with its westerly winds, so 

 little of snow and ice, and so little of forbidding 

 chill ; so much of cordial sunshine and so generous 

 response in the life of earth. The crows with 

 their hearty and wise utterances, the whispering 

 chickadees in the pines, these had their con 

 firmation to give. Crowded and engrossed and 

 saturated with the living spirit are these days. 

 Sweet is their air, lovely the colours of wood and 

 field, wonderful the modulations of blues and 

 greens in the sky. One lives indeed in their 

 wide and hospitable beauty.
