STRAY BIRDS 246 " you too proud to kiss me?" the morning light asks the buttercup.

247 " may I sing to thee and worship, O Sun?" asked the little flower.

"By the simple silence of thy purity," answered the sun.

248 is worse than an animal when he is an animal.

249 clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light. [71]
