First Day of Spring

Today is the first day of spring, the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.
Can you feel it?

"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt."
- Margaret Atwood

in Just--
spring when the world is mud--
luscious the little
lame balloonman
whistles far and wee
- e e cummings (Edward Estlin Cummings)

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
- T.S. Eliot (Thomas Stearns Eliot)

"Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world."
- Virgil A. Kraft
