In bed, bathed, and the good rain coming down again—liquidly slopping down the shingled roof outside my window. All today it has come down, in its enclosing wetness, and at last I am in bed, propped up comfortably by pillows—listening to it spurting and drenching—and all the different timbers of tone—and syncopation. The rapping on the resonant gutters—hard, metallic. The rush of a stream down the drain pipe splattering flat on the earth, wearing away a small gully—the musical falling of itself, tinkling faintly on the tin garbage pails in a high pitched tattoo. And it seems that always in August I am more aware of the rain.
