Lilies I have been thinking about living like the lilies that blow in the fields. They rise and fall on the tip of the wind, and have no shelter from the tongues of the cattle, and have no closets or cupboards, and have no legs. Still I would like to be as wonderful as the idea. But if I were a lily I think I would wait all day for the green face of the humming bird to touch me. What I mean is, could I forget myself even in those feathery fields? When Van Gogh preached to the poor of coarse he wanted to save someone most of all himself. He wasnt a lily, and wandering through the bright fields only gave him more ideas it would take his life to solve. I think I will always be lonely in this world, where the cattle graze by a black and white river where the vanishing lilies melt, without protest, past the lips of deer where a hummingbird, whenever there is a fuss, just rises and floats away.
