I Love You
“For hours he has been engaged in the agreeable task of dodging his duty to The Star. It began quite early this morning— for you cannot help being about quite early now that the clock has been put forward— or is it back?— for summer-time. He first went up on to the hill behind the cottage, and there at the edge of the beech woods he lay down on the turf, resolved to write an article en plein air, as Corot used to paint his pictures— an article that would simply carry the intoxication of this May morning into Fleet Street, and set that stuffy thoroughfare carolling with larks, and make it green with the green and dappled wonder of the beech woods. But first of all he had to saturate himself with the sunshine. You cannot give out sunshine until you have taken it in.”
