A fragment describes Polly Evans and a discussion of a Japanese school scene in Tokio. It recalls night shoppers, laborers, and a family watching a boy reciting in a lamplit room. The tone contrasts American views on schooling and influences observed in the district.
A reflective piece on Easter’s spiritual imagery cites Emerson Browning and Rossetti while recounting Jacky and Polly Evans visiting a Japanese boys' school. They observe drills classrooms clothing and the shift from floor seating to desks plus a traversed street scene with a roaming family performance.
The festival’s date and customs are traced from ancient times through the Latin and Eastern churches. References include the treatment of Easter by Bede, Nicea, and Augustine, with notes on Easter clothing, hymns, and the spread of Easter traditions across Europe.
A lyrical scene of springtime life. Lambs play, blossoms bloom, and trees dress in green while birds sing. Children leave school under a leafy canopy as a moment of forgiveness and renewal echoes, "Behold, I make all things new."
A playful tale describes Wind awakening seeds in March, Sunbeam guiding sprouts, Dew keeping leaves moist, and Rain strengthening the plant. The story personifies natural forces as a family of fairies who cooperate to make the world bloom and bring pleasure to people.
