for making a sonnet; you can only have
just so many lines, and just 50 few
rhymes, and the sentiment must change
in just such place, and very few peo-
pie have the patience for it. Even
Shakespeare did not keep to the severest
style of sonnet"
And are you trying to obey all the
rules?"
Yes.
"Ighy?"
why, for the fun of it. It is so in

But it must be awfully tedious; and
from your own account, you are really
working harder over it than you need
to-"
''Only because it is a great deal more
interesting to do thing well than just
TO do it. Let me read you something
from Wordsworths sonnet about the
sonnet. He says:
'In truth the prison unto which we doom
Ourselves no prison Is
meaning that, if we are willing 70 take
pains, there is a great deal of enjoy
ment in working hard over thing, even
if it is a very small thing He gives
great many comparisons, about nuns
being contented with their narrow con-
vents, and hermits in their cells, and
students in their libraries, and weavers
at the loom; but here oh, here, is an al
fusion to you, dear bee; ne tells how
Bees that soar for bloom,

liberty?'"
yes, that is what / meant. but

it is fine thing to say what you mean
in fourteen lines, why isn't it a finer
thing to say what you mean in fourteen
words?And really it seems to me that

that it is not for the honey that care,

fun Of the work"

all very well, but l should think it
would be very tiresome just to be sweet,
like flower: I'd rather be bee and
have to hunt for the sweetness"
And I'd rather be human being
and have to make things sweet. For,
after all, if bee doesn't find any sweet
ness he can't have any. while people
can make it for themselves. Do you
know, by the way, that You have given
me a splendid subject for poem?"

cuse me, will be off to the clover field;
