Farewell & Good Riddance!




She turned to the sunlight
    And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
    "Winter is dead.”
― A.A. MilneWhen We Were Very Young



Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"...
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...”
― Frances Hodgson BurnettThe Secret Garden


“What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.”
― Kobayashi IssaPoems


“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
― Pablo Neruda


“Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?”
― Neltje Blanchan


“Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.”
― Virgil Kraft


" And the endlessly long winter had at last turned to spring.
From life to death and back again to life. It was indeed the greatest magic in the world.”
― Lauren Oliver


“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke





It’s true in joy, I walked along,
took part in dance...



'there cannot ever have been a spring more beautiful than this. I did not know until now that clouds could be like this. I did not know that the sky is the sea and that clouds are the souls of happy ships, sunk long ago. I did not know that the wind could be tender, like hands as they caress - what did I know - until now?”
― Unica Zürn
