…“The early morning wind is as strong as the prairie and whatever I tell it I know it believes and remembers.

There was a night wind with blue of summer stars in summer and blue of winter stars in winter. And there was yet another, a blue wind of the times between night and day, a blue dawn and evening wind. All three of these winds he liked so well he could not say which he liked best.”
