By the meteorological calendar, spring will always start on 1 March; ending on 31 May.
“We mourn the blossoms of May because they are to whither;
but we know that May is one day to have its revenge upon November, by the revolution of that solemn circle which never stops
— which teaches us in our height of hope, ever to be sober, and in our depth of desolation, never to despair.”
