A wild rainy autumn day ending with a sparkling cold night.
Day spent at Austin’s.
At night when I arrived home, I found a little spray of some bright colored plant in a glass on an envelope on which was written “From Frank.” He could not have left me a more satisfying message than that. There was infinite poetry in it.
