Quote from Willa Cathers My Antonia (which I have put off reading - TopicsExpress



          

Quote from Willa Cathers My Antonia (which I have put off reading since high school ... and now I cant imagine why!), seems very seasonally appropriate: ...the little buzzing things that lived in the grass were all dead -- all but one. While we lying there against the warm bank, a little insect of the palest, frailest green hopped painfully out of the buffalo grass and tried to leap into a batch of bluestem. He missed it, fell back, and sat with his head sunk between his long legs, his antennae quivering, as if he were waiting for something to come and finish him. Tony made a warm nest for him in her hands; talked to him gaily and indulgently in Bohemian -- Presently he began to sing for us -- a thin, rusty little chirp.
