lines written in early spring

by mother nature at Tidal Basin  and streets of Wash.dc –cherry blossom :

*To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can, That there was pleasure there .

If this belief from heaven be sent, If such be Nature’s  holy plan ,

Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man ? *( WW)

… I rest my case…

glory in the flower

……..

Splendor in the grass

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.

William Wordsworth
