But during March and April
None stir abroad
Without a cordial interview
With God.”

Let's sow the seeds of our dreams and watch them bloom alongside the daffodils and tulips. Spring is nature's way of reminding us that even the darkest winters eventually give way to brighter days.”

Once more spring grass is lush and green.
Some red plum blossoms are open,
Others have yet to bloom.
I grind tea bricks into fine jade powder
In a pot carved with azure clouds,
Still under the spell of the morning's dream,
Till all of a sudden I am woken
By a jug of spring.
Flower shadows press at the double gate,
Pale moonlight silvers the translucent curtains.
A beautiful evening!
Three times in two years
We've missed the spring.
Come back without further ado
And let's enjoy our fill of this spring!”

“Spring slattern of seasons
you have soggy legs
and a muddy petticoat
drowsy
is your hair your
eyes are sticky with
dream and you have a sloppy body from
being brought to bed of crocuses
when you sing in your whisky voice
the grass rises on the head of the earth
and all the trees are put on edge
spring
of the excellent jostle of
thy hips
and the superior”
“SPRING SLEEP

Often it will come to you even in your sleep.”

When sixty years are told:

The warm rosebuds below.”

“Spring TO what purpose, April, do you return again? Beauty is not enough. You can no longer quiet me with the redness Of little leaves opening stickily. I know what I know. The sun is hot on my neck as I observe The spikes of the crocus. The smell of the earth is good. It is apparent that there is no death. But what does that signify? Not only under ground are the brains of men Eaten by maggots. Life in itself Is nothing, An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs. It is not enough that yearly, down this hill, April Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.”

“Spring was at hand. " I believe I might
recover," I thought, "if I could get out of this shell into the light of day, into the fields and woods." It was so long
since I had seen them. I remember, too, it came into my mind how nice it would be if by some magic, some
enchantment, I could forget everything that had happened in the last few years; forget everything, refresh my
mind, and begin again with new energy. In those days, I still dreamed of that and hoped for a renewal of life.
"Better go into an asylum," I thought, "to get one's brain turned upside down and rearranged anew, and then be
cured again.”
