🌺🤍🌺"From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April, dress’d in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing."

Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And Summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
~Shakespeare, Sonnet 18

‘Oh, it's delightful to have ambitions. I'm so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them – that's the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still.'
- Anne -"Anne of Green Gables"

~ Poe

LAUGHING, lucky Four-Leafed Clover
Is a most atrocious rover;
Doesn’t stay long in one place,
Goes and never leaves a trace.
Marion T. Ross (1881-1937)

Fellow student, John Roulstone, wrote the famous poem about the event for Mary.

When Celtic Finn Mccool sailed with his men their ship reached a mysterious island that was as beautitul as dangerous.
Birds were singing and in the dark forest was a well with a curiously wrought drinking-horn.
