By the side of the stream he stood and seemed very sad. Once or twice he looked up and down it mournfully, then he bent and looked at the king cups, first one and then another, very closely, and shaking his head. BY THE SIDE OF THE STREAM HE STOOD AND SEEMED VERY SAD ONCE OR TWICE HE LOOKED UP AND DOWN IT MOURNFULLY THEN HE BENT AND LOOKED AT THE KIN CUPS FIRST ONE AND THEN ANOTHER VERY CLOSELY AND SHAKING HIS HEAD
cute every time that I was lured to go and rest among the cool green grass under the beautiful osiers. Once to distract my thoughts I tried to gauge how fast the stream was trickling, but I found myself wondering if it flowed faster than blood. I felt that it would be a terrible place to go mad in, one would hear voices. At last I went to a poet whom I knew, and woke him from huge dreams, and put before him the whole case of the field. He had not been out of London all that year, and he promised to come with me and look at the field, and tell me what was going to happen there. It was late in July when we went. The pavement, the air, the houses and the dirt had been all baked dry by the summer, the weary traffic dragged on, and on, and on, and Sleep spreading her wings soared up and floated from London and went to walk beautifully in rural places. When the poet saw the field he was delighted, the flowers were out in masses all along the stream, he went down to the little wood rejoicing.
