". . . I'm going to imagine that I'm the wind that is blowing up there in those tree-tops. When I get tired of the trees I'll imagine I'm gently waving down here in the ferns ~ and then I'll fly over to Mrs. Lynde's garden and set the flowers dancing ~ and then I'll go with one great swoop over the clover field ~ and then I'll blow over the Lake of Shining Waters and ripple it all up into little sparkling waves. Oh, there's so much scope for imagination in a wind!"

Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables. L. M. Montgomery, 1908
