The Locust Tree in Flower The locust tree in flower is a great blank bush of white flowers, like spring snow. On all sides huddled close together are the houses.

In their doors and windows white flowers spill out on the sky; everywhere the light pressed down an irresistible white hint in the brightness of the day.

The good white women move among the trees, greatly pleased by this wreathing of the world
