Young Morning tapped sharply on my window;
When I drew aside the curtains, he winked and grinned. ...
"Over the mountains, through the swaying forests, the twelve cool-skinned winds

are chasing one another. ...
In the valleys, beside pools overhung by bright-leaved elders, slender nymphs
recline, admiring themselves in the glistening waters. ...
Earth laughs loudly ... her breath is perfumed..."

I turned my back to the window.
I put on a black suit, a starched collar, a grey tie;
Then I ate an egg on toast, and read the morning paper;
And, having kissed my wife good-bye, took a streetcar down to the office.

All day two dusty, bloated flies have been crawling over the sky-light.
