Spring has sprung! Spring is here at last! The Billy Collins poem below captures the unruly desire for freedom that spring unleashes in us. We're close now--just a matter of days--to the time we can rip the door from its jamb and walk out into the "larger dome of blue and white"!
TodayIf ever there were a spring day so perfect, so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze that it made you want to throw open all the windows in the house and unlatch the door to the carary's cage, indeed, rip the little door from its jamb, a day when the cool brick paths and the garden bursting with peonies seemed so etched in sunlight that you felt like taking a hammer to the glass paperweight on the living room end table, releasing the inhabitants from their snow-covered cottage so they could walk out, holding hands and squinting into this larger dome of blue and white, well, today is just that kind of day.
