The Emotional Atmosphere and Affects

A Bird came down the Walk,

He did not know I saw.

(…) He glanced with rapid eyes

That hurried all abroad,

They looked like frightened Beads, I thought,

He stirred his Velvet Head

Like one in danger. Cautious,

I offered him a Crumb

And he unrolled his feathers

And rowed him softer home.
