“When daisies pied and violets blue
And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue,
Do paint the meadows with delight.” Love’s Labours Lost #ShakespeareSunday #FolkloreSunday

#FolkloreSunday - According to Celtic beliefs, hawthorns are sacred and magical and must never be picked as they guard the entrance to the faerie world.

Cuckoos are seen as harbingers of spring because that is when they arrive in Britain. In Wales it was believed that a child born on the day the first cuckoo call of the season is heard will be lucky for their whole life. #FolkloreSunday
Great play is made of seeing or hearing the first cuckoo of Spring (c. Lady Day 25 March), but what happens to it in Winter? Some say it hides in a log, others, that it disguises itself as a hawk preying on the adults of the birds it had cuckolded… #FolkloreSunday

#FolkloreSunday
The world awakes to rapture;
Love rejoices, gods are glad,
Flowers unfold around her footfalls,
Youth in virgin garb is clad;
All the Muses chant a welcome;
Nymph and Naïad swell the strain;
Dancing sunbeams, laughing waters,
Aid the triumph of her train.

«Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.»
