"Give me books, fruit,

French wine and fine weather

and a little music out of doors,

played by someone

I do not know."

of the very breath of spring?"  

     neltje blanchan

Let me drink the day."

           edith wharton

"Never yet was a springtime, 

when the buds forgot to bloom."

"She wore the scent of early

spring on her delicate neck and

every kiss I stole tasted of bright

yellow flowers and buzzing bees."
