Description
Excerpt from Loafing Down Long Island
Island. I could not arrange to go for one lengthy stay, and neither could he, I knew; so I thought the next best thing was to do it by piecemeal rather than not at all, and I planned to save time by walking a certain distance, following a road map, return by train on Monday mornings, and then take a train out again to the spot where I had left Off the previous week. That seemed practical, novel, yet simple and well worth while. To live with a Blue Bird at one''s door, and never know it, seems to me, as it seemed to Maeterlinck, the height Of folly. I would discover the Blue Bird that was so happily mine, and hear its song on rosy summer mornings, three and even four days at a time, or perish in the attempt.
