I am writing this from Pont-Aven, where I have come to write about colonies and gatherings of artists, before regaining (what an \u003cem\u003einapproprié\u003c\/em\u003e word, ) and suddenly this poetry hits me in the Breton chill with--I can't say what--a dark blaze when I expected I have no idea what?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I had been thinking ah, peony, like \u003cem\u003epensée\u003c\/em\u003e, like a beloved and delicate pansy of thought, but this peony is nearer the chrysanthemum of Japanese writing from long ago.
