Spring is sweet and delicious

• There are no days in the whole round year more delicious than those which often come to us in the latter half of April…. The sun trembles in his own soft rays…. The grass in the meadow seems all to have grown green since yesterday…. though there is warmth enough for a sense of luxury, there is coolness enough for exertion. Thomas Wentworth Higginson

Spring is a miracle

• Ah, how wonderful is the advent of the Spring! – the great annual miracle…. which no force can stay, no violence restrain, like love, that wins its way and cannot be withstood by any human power, because itself is divine power. If Spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder and expectation would there be in all hearts to behold the miraculous change!… We are like children who are astonished and delighted only by the second-hand of the clock, not by the hour-hand. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
• The force of Spring – mysterious, fecund, powerful beyond measure. Michael Garofalo
• To early man, trees were objects of awe and wonder. The mystery of their growth, the movement of their leaves and branches, the way they seemed to die and come again to life in spring, the sudden growth of the plant from the seed – all these appeared to be miracles as indeed they still are, miracles of nature!  Ruskin Bond
• Life is a mystery and a miracle

Spring is beauty personified …

• It is a very beautiful day. The woman looks around and thinks: ‘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 wind could be tender, like hands as they caress – what did I know – until now? Unica Zürn

… splashes of colour …

• After the first autumn rains, how inimitable the beauty of days—the fall colors, not yet faded, washed out, in the winter deluge, but dripping, glistening, every crystal drop refracting the hue it trickles over. Running, draining color, brighter before the soil takes back again the positive red and yellow and blue to weave into the misty textures of spring. Virginia Garland

All else is bare, but prophetic: buds everywhere, the whole splendor of the coming summer concentrated in those hard little knobs on every bough… Thomas Wentworth Higginson

Helen Keller
• Forests

.

… and a time to get out into the garden

• A garden that never died eventually would weary. Robbed of springtime, unacquainted with the extraordinary perfume that rises from the soil after it’s had its rest, the garden that winter doesn’t visit is a dull place.  The return every spring of earth’s first freshness would never be kept if not for the frosts and rot and ripe deaths of fall.  So when I go out from the garden for the last time in autumn, I leave the gate open behind me.  Michael Pollan
• All gardens, even the most native and naturalistic, benefit from the hand of an artful pruner.

In the autumn of life, spring is a time to look back and contemplate

• Your days are short here; this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don’t forget when you leave why you came. Adlai E. Stevenson
• You are now 90 years old, sitting on a rocking chair outside your porch; you can feel the spring breeze gently brushing against your face.

.

… but sometimes it arrives late and slow

• The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. Henry Van Dyke
• With so many trees in the city, you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. This was the only truly sad time in Paris because it was unnatural. You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason.  In those days, though, the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.  Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Spring provides many fertile metaphors for life

• Metaphors to live by

Spring is a metaphor for youth

• April hath put a spirit of youth in everything. William Shakespeare
• It is a hopeless endeavour to unite the contrarieties of spring and winter; it is unjust to claim the privileges of age, and retain the play-things of childhood. Samuel Johnson
• Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Samuel Ullman
• Youth is like spring, an over-praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits. Samuel Butler

Spring is a metaphor for personal growth and awakening

• Our destiny often looks like a fruit-tree in winter. Who would think from its pitiable aspect that those rigid boughs, those rough twigs could next spring again be green, bloom, and even bear fruit? Yet we hope it, we know it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
• Man is not born perfect. He is born as a process. He has to seek and search and explore. He has to become, because his being arises only through becoming. Becoming is his being. He can only be if he is on the move. Evolution is intrinsic to man’s nature, evolution is his very soul. And those who take themselves for granted remain unfulfilled. Those who think they are born complete remain unevolved. Then the seed remains the seed. It never becomes a tree and never knows the joys of spring and the sunshine and the rain, and the ecstasy of bursting into millions of flowers. That explosion is the fulfilment, that explosion is what existence is all about—exploding into millions of flowers. When the potential becomes the actual, only then is man fulfilled. Osho
• Growth,  Awakening

.

• Is it so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the spring, to have loved, to have thought, to have done? Matthew Arnold
• Life is meant to be fun, and fun is a sure antidote to disappointment. A million things have brought me joy, or laughter, or most important, the experience of beauty. Plant a potato, and discover a treasure chest of new ones when you dig them.  Walk down a northern path in the springtime, and try to count the dogwood blossoms and the trilliums.  Read Shakespeare.  Discover love.  Then look up at the stars and reach for them.  Richard Cutler
• I have never missed one moment of beauty, not even taken it for granted. Spring, summer, autumn, or winter.  I wish I had failed as little in other ways.  Agnes Sligh Turnbull

• There is no season such delight can bring, As summer, autumn, winter and the spring. William Browne
• The question, “Which is the happiest season of life?” was asked of an aged man. And he replied: “When spring comes, and in the soft air the buds are breaking on the trees, and they are covered with blossoms, I think, ‘How beautiful is spring’; and when summer comes and covers the trees with its heavy foliage, and singing birds are among the branches, I think, ‘How beautiful is summer.’  When autumn loads them with golden fruit, and their leaves bear the gorgeous tint of frost, I think, ‘How beautiful is autumn.’  And when it is severe winter, and there is neither foliage nor fruit, then I look up through the leafless branches as I never could until now, and see the stars shine in God’s home.
• Stand Tall and Proud. Sink your roots deeply into the Earth. Reflect the light of a greater source. Think long term. Go out on a limb. Remember your place among all living beings. Embrace with joy the changing seasons. For each yields its own abundance. The energy and birth of Spring. The growth and contentment of Summer. The wisdom to let go of leaves in the Fall. The rest and quiet renewal of Winter. Ilan Shamir
• Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance.  Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence.  Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.  Yoko Ono

• I have never missed one moment of beauty, not even taken it for granted. Spring, summer, autumn, or winter.  I wish I had failed as little in other ways.  Agnes Sligh Turnbull
• We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives. Gary Zukav
• Life is a cycle of summer, autumn, winter, spring

.

• Summer makes me drowsy. Autumn makes me sing. Winter’s pretty lousy, but I hate Spring. Dorothy Parker
• People talk about the beauty of the spring, but I can’t see it. The trees are brown and bare, slimy with rain. Some are crawling with new purple hairs. And the buds are bulging like tumorous acne, and I can tell that something wet, and soft, and cold, and misshapen is about to be born. And I am turning into a vampire.  T. Anderson, Thirsty
