A breeze passes in the night. When did it spring up? Whence does it come? Whither is it going? No man knows.

The East and the West in the spring of the world shall blend
As a man and a woman that plight
Their troth in the warm spring night.Richard Hovey
The south winds roars at night,
Curlews hasten in their flight,
The air is damp and warm.
Desire to sleep has vanished now,
Spring has arrived in the night
In the wake of a storm.Hermann Hesse
'Tis night, and the landscape is lovely no more;
I mourn, but you woodlands I mourn not for you!
For spring is returning your charms to restore,
Perfumed with fresh fragrance and glittering with dew.
Nor yet for the ravage of winter I mourn,
Kind nature the embryo blossom shall save;
But when shall spring visit the mouldering urn?James Beattie
He who hopes for spring with upturned eye never sees so small a thing as Draba. He who despairs of spring with downcast eye steps on it, unknowingly. He who searches for spring with his knees in the mud finds it, in abundance.
Aldo Leopold
A sleepless spring night:
Yearning for what I never had
And for what never was.Richard Wright
