 The dawn came — not the flaming sky that promises storm, but a golden dawn of 
infinite promise. The birds came flying up out of the east in wedge-shaped formation, 
and the mist lifted in soft wreaths of sun-shot silver. Colour came back to the world. 
The grass glowed with a green so vivid that it seemed pulsing, like flame, from some 
hidden fire in the earth, the distant woods took on all the amazing deep crimsons and 
purples of their winter colouring, the banks were studded with their jewels of lichens 
and bright moss, and above the wet hedges shone with sun-shot orbs of light.
