Night Butterflies.
As if fluttering from the inside of a
fairy tree in• the half-light of early
summer evening, large white moths
hover over the pallid sweet peas of.
the garden. These papilions de nuit
come into the still evening air, as if
released by magic at a certain hour.
Asleep all day, concealed in the gray-
ish bark of trees, they have now come
to wave and flutter and dance as light-
ly as they may with their wings laden
with such heavy white velvet dust.
Their slow fluttering dance gives more
lassitude than animation to the quiet
June evening and the peaceful pene-
tration of modest stars through the
blue veil
A half -girdle of a June moon bathes
with a cool light the garden with its
Canterbury bells, its sweet pease and
a thousand rose petals. The butter-
flies of the night are like uncertain
moonbeams that hover for a moment
over the fragrant flowers in the dell.
Rays of the pale candle in the sky in-
fuse the garden, outlining the gray
rock border and 'turning green leaves
to purple in the waning' evening light
that follows dusk.
The flowers not yet\asleep •exude a
richer perfume; the `white moths
waver close to the moist and fragrant
earth, to the crystal dew upon the
grass, then flutter off, perchance for
the moon, for the shining goal that
lights their dusty wings.

and strange;
