No days such honored days as these! while yet fair aphrodite reigned, men seeking wide for some fair thing which should forever bide on earth, her beauteous memory to set in fitting frame that no age could forget, her name in lovely april's name did hide, and leave it there, eternally allied to all the fairest flowers spring did beget.

No Days Such Honored Days As These!

No days such honored days as these! while yet fair aphrodite reigned, men seeking wide for some fair thing which should forever bide on earth, her beauteous memory to set in fitting frame that no age could forget, her name in lovely april's name did hide, and leave it there, eternally allied to all the fairest flowers spring did beget.

More From Helen Hunt Jackson

God made a beauteous garden with lovely flowers strown, but one straight, narrow pathway that was not overgrown. and to this beauteous garden he brought mankind to live, and said "to you, my children, these lovely flowers i give. prune ye my vines and fig trees, with care my flowers tend, but keep the pathway open your home is at the end." god's garden

'by heaven, that thou art fair, is most infallible true, that thou art beauteous truth itself, that thou art lovely. more fairer than fair, beautiful than beauteous, truer than truth itself, have commiseration on thy heroical vassal.
Beautiful Art Heaven
In the autumn i gathered all my sorrows and buried them in my garden. and when april returned and spring came to wed the earth, there grew in my garden beautiful flowers unlike all other flowers. and my neighbors came to behold them, and they all said to me, "when autumn comes again, at seeding time, will you not give us of the seeds of these flowers that we may have them in our gardens?"
Beautiful Forgiveness Spring
Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same house of being is built. everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. in every now, being begins; round every here rolls the sphere there. the center is everywhere. bent is the path of eternity.
Running Years House
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 Flower Men
For april sobs while these are so glad april weeps while these are so gay,- weeps like a tired child who had, playing with flowers, lost its way.

Children Broken Insanity
This was once a land where every sane person knew how to build a shelter, grow food, and entertain one another. now we have been rendered permanent children. it’s the architects of forced schooling who are responsible for that.
Children Land Shelter
Mothers ought to bring up and nurse their own children; for they bring them up with greater affection and with greater anxiety, as loving them from the heart, and so to speak, every inch of them.
Mother Children Heart
You are not a man until you give your love, truly and freely to a child. and you are not a good man until you earn the love, truly and freely, of a child in return.
