Excerpt from Chequer-Work

There is a. Sense of security in its possession; the enamelled scarf of Flora is not twitched from before our eyes, nor her lovely locks loaded with snow. Thus the move ment of water, the invitation of the flowers, drew the Boeotians from their little town of Tanagra to the fields and hillsides in that Spring so long ago.
