Before receiving your instruction, I must tell you what happened to me one day. I had just had a closet built at the end of my garden. I heard a mole arguing with a cockchafer; 'Here's a fine structure,' said the mole, 'it must have been a very powerful mole who did this work.'

For there the mystical brotherhood
Of sun and moon and hollow and wood
And river and stream work out their will.
