I am sitting in your room,
looking out on the woods you know so well. So far everything delights me. I
am ashamed of my appetite for food, and as for sleep—I had forgotten
that sleeping can be an active and very strong physical pleasure. It can! It

unparalleled—Jupiter and Venus both shining in the golden-rosy sky and
both in the West; she not very far above the horizon, and he about mid-way
between the zenith and the silvery lady planet. From 5:30 to 6:30
