And so regain a lovely thing
That missing hour we lost in spring. — Phyllis Mcginley

opening at mid-summer,
tiny, perfect in its hour. — Sam Hamill

A part of the problem is that overconsumption of sugar seems to alter our taste buds. As they become used to it, our bodies crave more and more. One illuminating 2016 study compared two groups of people who, initially, were consuming the same amount of sugar. One group was put on a low-sugar diet whilst the other group continued on their existing one. The group consuming a low-sugar diet rated the same dessert as sweeter than the group who had not reduced their sugar intake. As every month passed, they rated it as more and more sweet. This is further evidence that reducing your intake of sugar changes your sense of taste. — Rangan Chatterjee

O Jesus, rise in me. — Christina Rossetti

The bed of flowers
Loosens amain,
The beauteous snowdrops
Droop o'er the plain.
The crocus opens
Its glowing bud,
Like emeralds others,
Others, like blood.
With saucy gesture
Primroses flare,
And roguish violets,
Hidden with care;
And whatsoever
There stirs and strives,
The Spring's contented,
If works and thrives. — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A word is a bud attempting to become a twig. How can one not dream while writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to dream. — Gaston Bachelard
