Leslie Laurio Quotes

36 - Mowing (from A Boy's Will, 1915) There Was Never A Sound Beside The Wood But One, And That Was My Long Scythe Whispering To The Ground. What Was It It Whispered? I Knew Not Well Myself; Perhaps It Was Something About The Heat Of The Sun, Something, Perhaps, About The Lack Of Sound-- And That Was Why It Whispered And Did Not Speak. It Was No Dream Of The Gift Of Idle Hours, Or Easy Gold At The Hand Of Fay Or Elf: Anything More Than The Truth Would Have Seemed Too Weak To The Earnest Love That Laid The Swale In Rows, Not Without Feeble-pointed Spikes Of Flowers (Pale Orchises), And Scared A Bright Green Snake. The Fact Is The Sweetest Dream That Labour Knows. My Long Scythe Whispered And Left The Hay To Make.
