"An altered look about the hills; A Tyrian light the village fills;
A wider sunrise in the dawn;
A deeper twilight on the lawn;
A print of a vermilion foot;
A purple finger on the slope;
A flippant fly upon the pane;
A spider at his trade again;
A
n added strut in chanticleer;
A flower expected everywhere ..."
