Seasons           327         " It is pleasant to walk with May and hear the song of mating birds and see the glint of fresh violets in the new grass...satisfying to sit in summer’s shade and know the fragrance of roses and the hum of bees through the long afternoon...exhilarating to watch the color come to the woodlands...but when the blossom has become the seed, when daylight has been abbreviated by the southward swing of the sun, when the trees stand naked in the frosty woodland.... " Borland, Twelve Moons of the Year
