这是一个愉快的夜晚,周身就只有一种感觉,全身的毛孔都浸透着喜悦。

我以一种奇异的姿态穿行于大自然之间,成为她的一部分。

我身着衬衫,漫步于铺满石头的湖滨,虽然天气有些寒冷,云多风也大,而且我也没看到什么吸引了我的东西,没有什么很让我挂心的事情,但这样的天气对于我却是很适宜的。

牛蛙用呜呜的低鸣声叫来了黑夜,晚风让湖面**起涟漪,湖面上也传来了夜鹰的音乐。

赤杨和白杨树风摇曳,激起我的**,使我无法呼吸,然而像湖面一样,我的宁静也是水波不兴,如镜面般平静的湖水,不会掀起惊涛骇浪。

天虽然已经黑了,可是风还在森林里吹拂咆哮,浪涛依旧拍打着湖岸,一些动物还在奏乐,催使其他动物入眠,这里没有绝对的宁静。

最凶猛的动物还没有安静下来,正在寻觅它们的猎物;狐狸、臭鼬、兔子,也还在原野上漫游,在这大森林里,它们一点都不感到恐惧,它们是大自然的守护者——是连接着一个个生机勃勃的白天的链环。

当我回到家里的时候,发现有客人来访过,他们还留下了名片,要么是一束花,要么是一个常青树的花环,要么是在黄色的胡桃叶或木片上用铅笔写下的名字。

那些不经常到森林的人喜欢一路上拿些小玩意儿在手上玩,有时是故意地,有时是偶然地就把它们留下了。

有一位客人剥下了柳树皮,用来做了一个环圈,放在我的桌子上。

我总是可以知道在我出门的时候有没有客人来过,不是树枝或青草弯倒了,就是一些脚印被留下了。

一般情况下,我还能从他们留下的微妙痕迹里猜测出他们的年龄、性别和性格;有的丢下了花朵,有的抓来一把草又把它扔掉,甚至还有些一直带到半英里外的铁路上才扔掉;也有的时候,这里还残留着雪茄烟和烟斗的味道。
