A notice in Times, that Kenneth Grahame had died. - it occupies my mind at my waking moments all night – This morning thinking of his “Wind in the Willows” and the delight it gave me when I was a youth. I arose early and walked east to the dam. The early morning wind was there, but how much water has gone under the bridge since I first dreamed of misty wind thru early morning willows –
