hi all jane kenyon was another hero of mine janet ----------------------------------- THINKING OF MADAME BOVARY The first hot April day the granite step was warm. Flies droned in the grass. When a car went past they rose in unison, then dropped back down.... I saw that a yellow crocus bud had pierced a dead oak leaf, then opened wide. How strong its appetite for the luxury of the sun! Everyone longs for love's tense joys and red delights. And then I spied an ant dragging a ragged, disembodied wing up the warm brick walk. It must have been the Methodist in me that leaned forward, preceded by my shadow, to put a twig just where the ant was struggling with its own desire.
