Bluebell-Harebell
When I think about cuckoo-flower, (lady-smock) cowslip; Of wildwood anemone and the wild hyacinth; Primrose, horse daisy, or kingcup; I think of stich ever |n clouds Of deep and light yellow, of lilac, of white; Of blue that is not blue, Like wood smoke at sunup.
But harebell, the bluebell of Scotland, £ think of but singly—- " campanula blue, not a turquoise nor mist blue; ’■ (It differs in shade and in shine;) '.That baffles all blueness— Wire-stemmed like black wire of the florist; With cup like a cap for a fairy.
The places where harebells are found, (What though they he many), Hold glamour: The child and the poet may feel ' It Hone else. . v Douglas Hum.
Shoes -with uppers made of paper may soon be on- sale in English shops. new woven paper fabric is, it is claimed, very 'strong, washable, and easily handled in the factory; it has already been tested for summer and indoor wear, and for infants' use.
