A sudden music spins great webs of sound Spanning the ground, the stars and their companions; While from the cliffs and canyons of blue air, Prayers of all colors, cries of exultation Rise into choruses of singing gold.

... from growing, one has to take no such pains in order to keep the lettuces and the potatoes from growing. For myself, I should, in the vulgar phrase, back the shepherd's purse against the lettuces every time. If the weeds in the garden fail to make us radiantly happy, it is not because they are weeds, but because they are the wrong weeds. Why not the ground-ivy instead of the shepherd's purse, that lank intruder that not only is a weed but looks like one? Why not bee-orchises for wartwort, ...
