y goldenrod, on the south by ragweed, on the east by chickweed,
and on the west by a sleepless night.

I would fain treat pollinosis in the way Mr. Lee might discuss it, but
that is impossible. Those prolate, sagging spirals of thought, those
grapevine twists of irremediable whim, that mind shimmering like a
poplar tree in sun and wind--jetting and spouting like plumbing after a
freeze-up--'tis beyond me. I fancy that if Mr. Lee were in bed, and the
sheets were untucked at his feet, he could spin himself so iridescent
and dove-throated and opaline a philosophy of the desirability of
sleeping with cold feet, that either (1) he would not need to get out of
bed to rearrange the bedclothes, or (2) he could persuade someone else
to do it for him. Think, then, what he could do for hay fever!

And as Dr. Crothers said, when you mix what you think with what you
think you think, effervescence of that kind always results.
