JANUARY DAYS 



blush roseate against the climbing, dark- 

 ening shadow of the earth. 



It is as if some land of summer whose 

 brightness has never been told lay un- 

 veiled before us, its delectable moun- 

 tains splendid with innumerable hues, 

 its lakes and streams of gold rippling to 

 purple shores seeming not so far before 

 us but that we might, by a little journey, 

 come to them.
