the statement that things commonly
considered unbeautiful become beautiful
when this one quality was present?
I believe it more firmly. And I
know that you do, too.
Suddenly the whole fairy
light changed last night. It was
inconsequential and common. First
I was puzzled, -- then I was angry
with myself, but chiefly with you, --
then I pitied you and de-
spiezed myself.
You see, the quality was
lacking, girl, and intuition
did speak. And the nights
became unbeautiful -- almost
hideous! -------
You were near me today,
after, and I told you things
and you understood, and once
we burst out laughing so
that the carpenter came in
to find out what the joke
was! Really, Edna, isn't
it ludicrous? ---------
I hope it isn't foggy to-
morrow night. 5:30pm. Mon
