Spring

By Edna St. Vincent Millay 1892–1950

To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?
Not only under ground are the brains of men
Eaten by maggots.
Life in itself
Is nothing,
An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
April
Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

“The scars on our hearts do not last forever. They are the temporary signs of a tender soul who has touched the earth and been burned by such a low descent. Once the earth has been redeemed and our relationships are returned to God, the scars within us will be miraculously healed.” ~ Marianne Williamson – A Woman’s Worth

Local News: Deer Ends Up in Newburyport Home

I read about this in today’s Newburyport Daily News, and then when I was leaving work tonight, Fox25 was filming this quick video about the story:

What’s interesting to me is how populated that area of downtown Newburyport is and how on earth a deer ended up there in the middle of the day.
