Its wings were double fronds of gauzy green, its fragile form a long and tapered flair— this fallen dragonfly I had not seen before, when I had walked out on my stair. I bent and saw that it was not alive, its body crushed, its wings ravaged and torn. Yet something of its beauty still survived— a remnant of the luster it...

Today I saw a dragonfly emerge From final stage of metamorphosis. I see his four fine wings opening out, Their silver lace lit by the midday blaze. To see each works, he takes some time to test. Seems that he can control them one by one. Each one having its own mechanism. The time has come and suddenly he’s off. This...
