A
swingeing
cold
in
the

running
about

night

Too
feeble
to
walk
far,
so

Cf.
Sainte-Beuve's
Essay
on
Maurice
de
Guérin:
"Il
aimait
à
se
répandre
et
presque
à
se
ramifier
dans
la
Nature.
Il
a
exprimé
en
mainte
occasion
cette
sensation
diffuse,
errante;
il
y
avait
des
jours
ou,
dans
son
amour
ou
calme,
il
enviait
la
vie
forte
et
muette
qui
règne
sons
l'écorce
des
chênes;
il
rêvait
à
je
ne
sais
quelle
métamorphose
en
arbre...."
