TO
KNUT HAMSUN,
In memory of a day when the west wind
and the rainbow met.
1892-1893.
"Fancies are toys of the brain, to write them down is to destroy them—as fancies! and yet—"
"I gave him such a pretty toy to play with, and he is breaking it up. When I say: 'You are very naughty, Biff; if you break it I shall whip you!' he only says:
"'But I must, Mumsey, I must!'"
Fragment of a Letter, 1893.
