MAY

"Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves;

And mid-May's eldest child,

The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine,

The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves."

John Keats

from "Ode to a Nightingale"

The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves."

MAY

"It was an ideal spring day, a light blue sky, flecked with little fleecy white clouds drifting across from west to east. The  sun was shining very brightly, and yet there was an exhilarating nip in the air, which set an edge to a man's energy."   Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

MAY

"Sweet May hath come to love us,

Flowers, trees, their blossoms don;

And through the blue heavens above us

The very clouds move on."

Heinrich Heine, Book of Songs
