I Hate to Leave This Beautiful Place
“For one thing, I ran a fever of between 99.5 and 102 for nearly three months. A doctor in Montpelier said of my condition, “I’m not alarmed. Probably it’s a strain of flu. Or a low-grade infection. But tests proved inconclusive. Overall, though, you’re able to function normally, right?” I didn’t quite know how to answer. Also of concern that summer, my older brother was on the lam again and telephoning at odd hours, trying to get me to smuggle him over the Canadian border. And another thing: ou...r well went dry. And another: a resident kingfisher at a beloved sawmill pond about ten minutes’ drive from my house was exhibiting a progressive malaise. This was strangely disturbing. I visited this pond almost daily. On the cover of my journal I’d written “Kingfisher Days.” I kept suspecting my fever of imposing a kind of unreality, also radical shifts of mood. I’d purchased three different brands of thermometers, perhaps hoping that one would render me fever-free.
