"SPRING - ONE MORE TIME" - View from MY WINDOW...

 “It's spring fever.... You don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!”
 - Mark Twain



Another May new buds and flowers shall bring:
Ah! why has happiness no second Spring?"
- Charlotte Smith, Elegiac Sonnets
 
My Apple Tree - starts to blossom


 In springtime, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head."  - - Emma Racine deFleur
 

"The trees are coming into leaf          
Like something almost being said;
The recent buds relax and spread,
Their greenness is a kind of grief.

Is it that they are born again
And we grow old? No, they die too, 
Their yearly trick of looking new
Is written down in rings of grain.

Yet still the unresting castles thresh
In fullgrown thickness every May.
Last year is dead, they seem to say,
Begin afresh, afresh, afresh."

- Philip Larkin, The Trees
"Never yet was a springtime, when the buds forgot to bloom." - Margaret Elizabeth Sangster



"January cold and desolate;
February dripping wet;
March wind ranges;
April changes;
Birds sing in tune
To flowers of May,
And sunny June
Brings longest day;
In scorched July
The storm-clouds fly,
Lightning-torn;
August bears corn,
September fruit;
In rough October
Earth must disrobe her;
Stars fall and shoot
In keen November;
And night is long
And cold is strong
In bleak December."

- Christina Giorgina Rossetti, The Months
