Dragonfly Dreams
July 08, 2008
"It is while we, ourselves, are dreaming in the sun by the margin of some pond, that these swift children of the air seem but a natural part of the dream. Yet, if we waken to note them more closely, we find many things very real interest to us. First, they are truly children of the sun, and if some cloud throws its shadow on the waters for some moments, the dragonflies disappear as if they wore the invisible cloak of the fairy tale." (Handbook of Nature Study, p. 404)
