Matching Quote
"For winter's rains and ruins are over,
And all the seasons of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green
underwood
and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins."
-A.C. Swinburne
