The birds are out- doing each other in vocal gymnas- tics ; and now the sound of the wind in the leagues of trees is like the breaking of far waters on a shelly shore. The tops of the oaks nod, ruddy in the sun, like Celtic kings giving audi- ence to wild tribes, — the winds, — their gold-red beards and hair quiver- ing with wrath. The tree-toad's guttural fluting is like the blowing of bubbles of cloudy crystal through hollow silver; the lonely sound seems 91 Nature-Notes more suitable to the ...melancholy of the evening than to the mirth of the morning. The day, in spite of its clouds, promises to be fair. As, all distraught, with dark, neglected hair She lifted up her face to mine I saw The moon-white glory of her soul, and love Smiled sadly at me from her shadowy eyes. Now is the sunset's presence fra- grant and beautiful as the presence of some young Greek: his feet anointed with Megallian oils, his bosom and arms odorous of the es- sence of thjTne; his eyebrows and hair sweet with marjoram ; his knees and neck with oil of wild ivy: robed in a robe of murex-dye, smelling sweeter than the costly ointment of Peron, he walks the twilight world, 92 Nature-Notes supple and gleaming of limb, sowing the earth with immaterial blossoms, ground-thyme, crocus, hyacinth, heli- chryse and amaracus.
