I cannot meet the Spring unmoved -
by Emily Dickinson

I cannot meet the Spring unmoved --
I feel the old desire --
A Hurry with a lingering, mixed,
A Warrant to be fair --

A Competition in my sense With something hid in Her -- And as she vanishes, Remorse I saw no more of Her.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (1830 - 1886) was an American poet

 

 Αrt by Emile Vernon

 “Quero apenas cinco coisas..
Primeiro é o amor sem fim
A segunda é ver o outono
A terceira é o grave inverno
Em quarto lugar o verão
A quinta coisa são teus olhos
Não quero dormir sem teus olhos.
Não quero ser... sem que me olhes.
Abro mão da primavera para que continues me olhando.”
(Pablo Neruda)

To Spring-William Blake O thou with dewy locks, who lookest down Through the clear windows of the morning, turn Thine angel eyes upon our western isle, Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring! The hills tell one another, and the listening Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turn’d Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth And let thy holy feet visit our clime! Come o’er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumèd garments; let us taste Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls Upon our lovesick land that mourns for thee. O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put Thy golden crown upon her languish’d head, Whose modest tresses are bound up for thee.

A Light Exists in Spring

by Emily Dickinson
A light exists in spring
Not present on the year
At any other period.
When March is scarcely here

A color stands abroad
On solitary hills
That science cannot overtake,
But human nature feels.

It waits upon the lawn;
It shows the furthest tree
Upon the furthest slope we know;
It almost speaks to me.

Then, as horizons step,
Or noons report away,
Without the formula of sound,
It passes, and we stay:

A quality of loss
Affecting our content,
As trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a sacrament.
