原文
"I'm not going to worry about it just now, anyway, and spoil this lovely
afternoon," said Anne, gazing around her with delight. The fresh chill
air was faintly charged with the aroma of pine balsam, and the sky above
was crystal clear and blue--a great inverted cup of blessing. "Spring is
singing in my blood today, and the lure of April is abroad on the air.
I'm seeing visions and dreaming dreams, Pris. That's because the wind is
from the west. I do love the west wind. It sings of hope and gladness,
doesn't it? When the east wind blows I always think of sorrowful rain
on the eaves and sad waves on a gray shore. When I get old I shall have
rheumatism when the wind is east."
