'tis spring; come out to ramble the hilly brakes around, for under thorn and bramble about the hollow ground the primroses are found. and there's the windflower chilly with all the winds at play, and there's the lenten lily that has not long to stay and dies on easter day.

'tis spring; come out to ramble the hilly brakes around, for under thorn and bramble about the hollow ground the primroses are found. and there's the windflower chilly with all the winds at play, and there's the lenten lily that has not long to stay and dies on easter day.

Easter Spring Wind

More From A. E. Housman

O lovely lily clean, o lily springing green, o lily bursting white, dear lily of delight, spring in my heart agen that i may flower to men.

There is no evolving, only unfolding. the lily is in the bit of dust which is its beginning, lily and nothing but lily: and the lily in blossom is a ne plus ultra: there is no evolving beyond.

There's a story... a legend, about a bird that sings just once in its life. from the moment it leaves its nest, it searches for a thorn tree... and never rests until it's found one. and then it sings... more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. and singing, it impales itself on the longest, sharpest thorn. but, as it dies, it rises above its own agony, to outsing the lark and the nightingale. the thorn bird pays its life for just one song, but the whole world stills to listen, and god in his heaven smiles.

New rule: someone must x-ray my stomach to see if the peeps i ate on easter are still in there, intact and completely undigested. and i'm not talking about this past easter. i'm talking about the last time i celebrated easter, in 1962.

So spring comes merry towards me here, but earns no answering smile from me, whose life is twin'd with the dead boughs that winter still must bind, and whom today the spring no more concerns. behold, this crocus is a withering flame; this snowdrop, snow; this apple-blossom's part to breed the fruit that breeds the serpent's art. nay, for these spring-flowers, turn thy face from them, nor stay till on the year's last lily-stem the white cup shrivels round the golden heart.

Here the whole world (stars, water, air, and field, and forest, as they were reflected in a single mind) like cast off clothes was left behind in ashes, yet with hopes that she, re-born from holy poverty, in lenten lands, hereafter may resume them on her easter day." (epitaph for joy gresham)

I am optimistic that peace can be achieved in the region because i believe that every society on earth can be free and that if freedom comes to the middle east, there can be peace.

Short shrift is made of the jews in all eastern occupied areas. tens of thousands of them are liquidated.

Ye heavens, how sang they in your courts, how sang the angelic choir that day, when from his tomb the imprisoned god, like the strong sunrise, broke away?
