“The air deals blows: surely too hard, too often?
No: it is bent on bringing summer down.
Dead leaves desert in thousands, outwards, upwards,
Numerous as birds; but the birds fly away....”

“A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.”
