There were a handful of fireflies flickering intermittently, some so close to me I could see they were burning green as they flew, and some further away, who seemed to be flashing white.And in the sky above them a continual roil of distant summer lightning (the storm distant enough that it was silent) burned and flashed and illuminated the clouds.

I? I am the wind,_ said Thowra. __ come, I pass, and I am gone._ The strange feathers moved up and down, the strange voice said tartly: __nd are your sons the same?_ __y son is the lightning that strikes through the black night. My grandson is light that pierces the dark sky at dawning._ __h,_ said the first emu, __nd we know your daughter is the snow that falls softly from above and clothes the world in white. You want but the rainbow _ that is and was and never will be, and is yet the promise of life _ and the glittering ice which is there and is gone: then you and your family will possess all magic.
