Nature Imagery:

“Outside its windows lay the great world. Seen from in here the great world in its winter‐ whiteness was ever prettily bordered in pink, blue and red by the row of hyacinths on the window‐sills. And in summer, when the windows were open, the great world had a softly moving frame of white muslin curtains to it.”
