He is recuperating from something on the lung. The narcissi, too, are bowing to some big thing: It rattles their stars on the green hill where Percy Nurses the hardship of his stitches, and walks and walks. There is a dignity to this; there is a formality -- The flowers vivid as bandages, and the man mending. They bow and stand: they suffer such attacks! And the octogenarian loves the little flocks. He is quite blue; the terrible wind tries his breathing. The narcissi look up like children, quickly and whitely. American Review | www.PaperLyon.com | McGill Live Radio | Publish
