A little Madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King.

—Emily Dickinson

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.

Listen, can you hear it? Spring's sweet cantata. The strains of grass pushing through the snow. The song of buds swelling on the vine. The tender timpani of a baby robin's heart. Spring.

—Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. I guess it's time to get back to that daily routine of living we like to call normal.

—David Assael

If there comes a little thaw,

Still the air is chill and raw,

Here and there a patch of snow,

Dirtier than the ground below,

Dribbles down a marshy flood;

Ankle-deep you stick in mud In the meadows while you sing,

"This is Spring.

—Christopher Pearce Cranch
