Domus

My house has no foundations; it is built on rock and rubble. It stands there by the grace of God with very little trouble. It’s just as good as any house, although it’s not so steady; but, for the day it tumbles down, my plans are made already.

Season to Taste

springboard; where the cowslips there slip I summary; summer in the houses fever in the hay showers in the thunder dreams in the day windfall; frost in the killing weather in the vane bulls in the rushes hurry in the cane winter rose; fire in the place again three wise snow men.

A Consideration

I saw some brains at the butcher’s shop, I was told they were very fine— and I shuddered to think, as I looked at them, they were probably better than mine.

The Gram Family

Ana Gram and Milli Gram were twins. They were as different as two pins when two pins are different. Milli was very very small, in fact she hadn’t developed at all since the age of ten.
