Spring

Once again time to quote favorite lines from a favorite spring poem.

"Hounds of Spring" from Atalanta in Calydon by Algernon Charles Swimburne.

"For winter''s rains and ruins are over,
And all the season of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remember'd is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover,
Blossom by blossom the spring begins."
