Lucky

While some of us are looking out of our windows and seeing that March is still acting like a lion,  
 and reciting quotes like this....

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"



...and consoling ourselves with this:

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; 
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity 
would not be so welcome.  ~Anne Bradstreet


Others of us 

are reciting this!

The naked earth is warm with Spring,
And with green grass and bursting trees
Leans to the sun's kiss glorying,
And quivers in the sunny breeze.
~Julian Grenfell
