“Spring in the hills would confront the greatest artist with too vast a panorama. I doubt if he could ever capture it. For Spring there is more than colour; it is music and scent.

Down in the hollows anemones, bereft of smell, gleam in pale patches.” SpringtimeHighlands Book:A Country Dweller's Years: Nature Writings by Jessie Kesson Source: A Country Dweller's Years: Nature Writings by Jessie Kesson
