The day after Sir Grummore's visit was sweltering for the menwho toiled from milking to milking and then again till sunset intheir battle with the sultry element. For the hay was an elementto them, like sea or air, in which they bathed and plunged themselvesand which they even breathed in. The seeds and small scrapsstuck in their hair, their mouths, their nostrils, and worked, tickling,inside their clothes. They did not wear many clothes, and theshadows between their sliding muscles were blue on the nut-brownskins. Those who feared thunder had felt ill that morning.

The sun, as it rose, tinged the quick-silver of the creeks and thegleaming slime itself with flame. The curlew, who had beenpiping their mournful plaints since long before the light, flew nowfrom weed-bank to weed-bank. The widgeon, who had slept onwater, came whistling their double notes, like whistles from aChristmas cracker. The mallard toiled from land, against thewind. The redshanks scuttled and prodded like mice. A cloudof tiny dunlin, more compact than starlings, turned in the airwith the noise of a train. The black-guard of crows rose from thepine trees on the dunes with merry cheers. Shore birds of everysort populated the tide line, filling it with business and beauty.
It also sang, without pausing for a moment between the songs,Home Sweet Home and The Old Rustic Bridge by the Mill. Then,because it had finished its repertoire, it drew a hurried but quaveringbreath, and began again on Genevieve. After that, it sang HomeSweet Home and The Old Rustic Bridge by the Mill.
"My brother was staying with me that year. I said to him:'Why ever have we kept this dear fellow chained up?' I wasashamed when I saw his wounded hands. 'He is happy andgracious,' I said, 'and now he has saved my life. We must neverchain him up again, but give him his freedom and do everythingwe can for him.' You know, Pelles, I liked that Wild Man. Hewas gentle and grateful, and he used to call me Lord. It is adreadful thing to think that he might have been the great Dulac,and us keeping him tied up and letting him call me Lord sohumbly."
The heavy lifting on the album, however, was done by Thorn and, as usual, his touring band (guitarist Bill Hinds, keyboard player Michael Graham, bassist Ralph Friedrichsen and drummer Jeffrey Perkins). "The guys in this outfit are a tight unit and a well-oiled machine," he proclaims. "I've had the same guys in my band for goin' on 15 years and they are incredible musicians." Another long-time collaborator is Billy Maddox, who steered the ship and also served as What The Hell's producer. The sense of camaraderie among Thorn, his band and Maddox contributes to the disc's loose, live performances. The lived-in quality is undoubted aided by the fact that Thorn and the band had already played these songs live and honed them into what he calls "crowd-pleasers."

It was a beautiful evening! But the freed bee didn't think so. The sun was still shining, although it was lower in the sky. The light was softer, the shadows were longer, and the flowers were more fragrant than ever. But the poor bee felt like a heavy cloud was over her little heart. She had become discontented and ambitious, and she wanted to rebel against the authority she had been born under.
"Think of the mornings, with the red glow of the sunrise, Mother. Think of the soft haze, and then the warm rays of sunshine lighting on the water. Think of the delightful noonday glare, when the reeds and rushes smell wonderful with the heat. Think of the evenings, Mother, when we can perch on the branches of the willow trees, here and there, wherever we want, and watch the sun go down. Or we can fly to the tiny islands and sing in the long green grasses there, and then come home by the light of the moon and sing ourselves to sleep, and wake up singing again if some noise wakes us up, such as a boat paddling by, or those strange lights that shoot up from distant gardens. Even when it rains, we enjoy ourselves as we huddle into our soft, warm nest together and listen to the raindrops pattering on the reeds and leaves overhead. I love this dear home so much! Please stop singing those disturbing songs about some other land!"
And she began to sing again about the land she had left before. But now the focus of her song was that she had left it without knowing why. She had "gone out, not knowing where," in blind obedience, faith and hope. As she had travelled over the wide waste of waters, there was no one to explain to her why she was going, or to tell her what would happen when she got there. If she had met that magpie, would he have been able to tell her? But it was not true that she had been deceived. No, the longing whisper that had beckoned her and led her away and to this place had been a whisper of Kindness. When she had arrived at these reeds, she knew it. Then a strong desire had risen inside her, a desire to settle. So she and her mate had settled here. And then there had been a strong urge to build a nest. If the magpie had seen her then, building a home for children who didn't even exist yet, he would have made fun of her! He would have asked her what she could possibly know about the future. It was all nothing but guess work, wishful thinking, and foolishness. But had she been deceived? No! It was that whisper of Kindness that had told her what to do. After all, hadn't she become the happy mother of children? And now she was able to comfort and advise her little ones in their doubts and troubles. No matter what the magpie said, it wasn't likely that the whisper of Kindness would deceive them now, was it? "No!" she cried, "So let's obey the whispered yearning in joyful trust, even though we don't understand why yet. Maybe when we have obeyed and had faith, then knowledge and explantion will be provided." And the mother bird's song ended. The young warbler never had any more doubts again.
The wind took another whirl around the garden, and came up close to the large white lily, and whispered into her refined ear. He wondered whether it was truly necessary for her strong, thick stem to be propped up against an ugly old stick. It made him sad just to see it! Did the lovely lily imagine that Nature, who had done so much for her that her beauty was famous throughout the world, had left her so weak and feeble that she couldn't hold herself up in the position most comfortable and satisfying to her? "They're always tying up and restraining!" said the wind, with an angry puff. "Maybe I'm prejudiced, but being deprived of freedom would be worse than death to me, so my very soul fights against every kind of tyranny and slavery!"
"And so does mine!" cried the proud white lily. She leaned heavily against the tape that attached her to the stick, but it was no use. She couldn't get herself free. The wind shook his head and laughed spitefully. Then he left her to go share the same shallow way of thinking with a honeysuckle that was trained up against a wall. No flower in that garden escaped his troublesome suggestions; he talked to all of them. He laughed in scorn at the trimmed box hedges, teased the sweet peas by asking whether they enjoyed growing in a circle and up a lot of crooked sticks, and told the flowers in general that he was going to tell everyone he met about their unbelievable submission and passive obedience.
The robin wasn't the only bird who came to the holly tree for berries, and the berries disappeared pretty fast. But the robin continued to sing. He sang his little song of thanks after every meal. That was his way. Sometimes other birds made fun of him, but he didn't care about that. He had bravery and patience and hope, and that would support and sustain him against whatever hardships there might be. A little bit of teasing couldn't distress a spirit that was so strengthened by cheerful endurance.
"I guess little bits of things do always happen to turn up accidentally!" thought the robin to himself that evening, as he crept into his ivy-covered shelter. That night he dreamed of the window ledge and the delicious food! And the next morning, before anybody was awake, he went to visit the magical window ledge again. But there were no children, and no bread crumbs. (He was only a bird, and he didn't know anything about social customs like breakfast hours!) It almost seemed like the meal from the previous day had been a dream, something too good to be true. Or, at any rate, too good to happen again. But no summer bird song could be any sweeter than the song that robin sang to greet that early morning, which happened to be Christmas day.
And always after that, throughout the struggles of my life, I would return to that old forest where I dreamed the dream whenever I needed wisdom and hope. As the years passed on, and winter snows came and cold, deathlike sleep seemed to lock the trees in ice--still, at the proper time, the moon would come out and light up even the snow with robes of light and hope. And the springtime would burst the cold chains of winter that held all of nature in a prison. Green leaves and beauty returned again. As I listened to the breezes that whispered soft music through the trees, I thought, "If I could have that dream again, I'd be able to hear exquistely beautiful songs of the wind." But that never happened. Still, I was able to enjoy the comfort of the sight, and see the moonbeams glittering triumphantly through the green tree branches, as if they were romping and playing among the shadows of the leaves. 2ff7e9595c
