He found that many simple and unrelated things could cause the same feeling to lift up and up within him till he was sure that he could not contain it. The wind could do this to him., when it washed through poplar leaves, when it set telephone wires humming and twanging down an empty prairie road, when it ruffled the feathers on one of Sherry's roosters standing forlorn in a bare yard, when it carried to him the Indian smell of a burning straw stack. Once the feeling had been caused by the sound of Gaffer Thomas's bucksaw wheehawing impatiently on the other side of the O'Connal back fence; another time, by a crow calling... Always, he noted, the feeling was most exquisite upon the prairie or when the wind blew.
