Rüzgar Şimdi bir rüzgar geçti buradan Koştum ama yetişemedim, Nerelerde gezmiş tozmuş Öğrenemedim. Besbelli denizden çıkıp Kıyılar boyunca gitmiştir, Tuz kokusu, katran kokusu, ter kokusu Yüreğini allak bullak etmiştir. Sonra başlamış tırmanmaya dağlara doğru Bulutları koyun gibi gütmüştür, Okşayıp otları yaylalarda Büyütmüştür. Köylere de uğradıysa eğer Islak, karanlık odalarda beşik sallanmıştır, Güneş altında çalışanlara İmdat eylemiştir. Sonra başlayıp alçalmaya ovalara doğru, Haşhaş tarlalarında eflatun, pembe, beyaz, Kıraçlarda mavi dikenler.. Toz toprak gözlerine gitmiştir. Şehirlere uğramış ki yanımdan geçti, Haşhaş çiçeğine benzer kızlar görmüştür, Bir gülüş, bir tel saç, allık pudra Alıp gitmiştir. Şimdi bir rüzgar geçti buradan Koştum ama yetişemedim, Soraydım söylerdi herhalde Soramadım. ↗

And beyond the timeless meadows and emerald pastures, the rabbit holes and moss-covered oak and rowan trees and the "slippy sloppy" houses of frogs, the woodland-scented wind rushed between the leaves and blew around the gray veil that dipped below the fells, swirling up in a mist, blurring the edges of the distant forest.

Only a few more weeks till spring . . . and a few more weeks then till summer . . . and holidays . . . and Green Gables . . . and golden sunlight on Avonlea meadows . . . and a gulf that will be silver at dawn and sapphire at noon and crimson at sunset . . . and you. ↗

This is surely the most significant of the elements that Tolkien brought to fantasy.... his arranged marriage between the Elder Edda and "The Wind in the Willows"--big Icelandic romance and small-scale, cozy English children's book. The story told by "The Lord of the Rings" is essentially what would happen if Mole and Ratty got drafted into the Nibelungenlied. ↗

Debt Chauffeur, that's my name for him now, wants to marry me. He asked me down on bended knee, and I would have been honored - except he wants us to live in London, and he wants me to live white. I crowed at that. I laughed so hard and not a tear came. He couldn't understand it. I don't often think on how white I look; it's always been a question of how colored I feel, and I feel plenty colored. He said that no one in London will know that I'm supposed to be colored. And I said I am colored, colored black, the way I talk, the way I cook, the way I do most everything, and he said but you don't have to be. ↗

So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs. ↗
