Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifteen Sonnets of Petrarch
Bebz'na' me an orz'ole chirrups in triumpb amid tbe bireb-trees wbicb wafve around tbe bouse of tbe baum'ed window before me a kingfisber pauses and waits, and a darting blackbz'rd sbows tbe scarlet on bis wings. Sloops ana' scloooners constantly come and go, careem'ng in tbe wind, tbeir wbite sails taking, ifremote enougb, a vague blue mantle from the deli cate azr. Sailboats glide in tko distance, each a mere wbite wing of canvas, - ar coming nearer, and glan cing sua'a'enly' z'w'o tbe cove, are put as suddenly on tbe otber tack, and almost in an instant seemfar away. Tloere is to-a'ay suob a live sparkle on tbe water, sueb a luminousfresbness on tbe grass, toat it seems, as is often tbe ease in early June, as if all history were a dream, and tbe wbole earth were but the creation of a summer's day.
