If I had been tossed down blindfold on that red prairie, I should have known that it was spring."

"Some big insect flew in and began walking on the table. I don't know what insect it was, but it was brown, shining, and rich in structures. In the city the big universal chain of insects gets thin, but where there's a leaf or two it'll be represented."
