The season advances – All day it is September –
morning begins with South east –
In Summer – The sunlight commences in the East; shortly it tis Noon, at evening it is Northwest –
In this season the sunlight begins with Southeast; abruptly is in the West, + evening comes unnoticed
A great calm is on the air – this south east sunlight It is more a feeling than a fact –
A butterfly darting against the sunlit sky is black –
A sunflower at noon is blk against the sky –
