Day broke with silvery brightness on the summer sage. The sky grew pink, the sand grew gold. The dawn-wind brought through the windows the acrid smell of the sagebrush: an odour that is peculiarly stimulating in the early morning, when it always seems to promise freedom... large spaces, new beginnings, better days. The train was due in Denver at eight o'clock.
But the dawn-wind caught up that "hush" and carried it to the trees and undergrowth about them, and then ran thousand-footed before them to whisper it to the valley where they were going. And Miriam, knowing the worship and protection in his delicate caress, looked up into his face and smiled and the smile in her grey eyes was that ancient mother-smile which is coeval with life.
The shadow of the big bell-handle in the wall grew short, lengthened again, and faded out as the moon went down behind the pasture and a hare came limping home across the road. Then the dawn-wind washed through the upland grasses, and brought coolness with it, and the cattle lowed by the drought-shrunk river.
We munched interminably, making every morsel last as long as possible. The food revived me, and even before the dawn-wind had died, the rays of the sun began to make themselves felt. I began to be restless; Agathemer again checked me. "Keep still," he commanded. "As soon as the sun has dried the dew off the leaves I can make you more comfortable. Just now we are best as we are."
So he was feeling just a little sad, because people like to have gifts. He came downstairs and unlocked his door, and opened it to the beautiful young day all strung with dew " "Could he see it?" asked Kirk. "No," said Felicia, "he couldn't." "Then it was me." "We-e-ll," said his sister, "possibly. But when he opened the door, in came the wind, all as fresh and dewy as a dawn-wind can be.
It was overgrown with a tall coarse grass which, rippling in the dawn-wind, resembled moving waters from this distance, save where clumps of palm trees showed like islands. Farther off, the tents of the Free Companions were as the white, sharp teeth of a lion.
At the dawn-wind I found them stiff in the grass four, Free People, four when this moon was new. Then sought I my Blood-Right and found the dhole." "How many?" said Mowgli quickly; the Pack growled deep in their throats. "I do not know. Three of them will kill no more, but at the last they drove me like the buck; on my three legs they drove me. Look, Free People!"
It is I who wake the dawn-wind and the birds. Take my warm kiss on your upturned face. "And that was the Second Gift. The person thanked the sun very much, and went in, with his heart all warmed, to eat his breakfast.
And breathing the dawn-wind in dilated nostrils, with head tossed upwards and with quivering wings, he stands and stares from our tremendous heights, and snorts and sees far-future wonderful wars rage in the creases and the folds of the togas that cover the knees of the gods." As he crawled from the tombs of the fallen a worm met with an angel.
