  not only all the summer's mornings -, not only how they change along the day 
  and shine before beginning. not only the days, being tender around the 
  flowers, and above, around the fashinoned trees, strong and vehement. not only 
  the meditation of these unfolded forces, not only the ways, not only the 
  meadows in the evening, not only, after late thunderstorm, the breathing 
  brightness, not only the approach of sleep and an intuition, evenings ... yet 
  the nights! yet the high summer nights, yet the stars, the stars of the earth. 
  o being dead some day and they infinetely know, all the stars: for how, how, 
  how they forget!
