Pieces of My Day

"Is it so small a thing,
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done?"
-- Matthew Arnold

"Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems."
-- Rainer Maria Rilke

"All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar."
-- Helen Hayes


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