"Nothing Gold Can Stay"
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost (1923)
I got sick at school today with a stomach bug and had the secretary call a sub so I could go home early. So on the first day of spring (and in the middle of the school day!), I got to come home and sleep the afternoon away. Such great good fortune to be just ill enough that I needed to leave work -- but not so miserable that I couldn't appreciate the luxury of tucking into bed.
