Mowing Visions of New England Quotes

If the narrator had been mowing a lawn beside the woods in the South, there would be such a cacophony of noise from the cicadas and other woodsy creatures that he would never have heard that scythe whispering.

Again, if this were happening in the South that scythe would have been complaining loudly about the heat instead of just whispering about it.

In just about any other part of the country, a snake skittering through the grass would be far more alarming (and deadly) than the narrator seems to think it is.
