I was amazed also bright, but not roast during this time with the sun, and the bottomless turquoise sky, and juicy greens of lawns and trees, and the softness poured in all. It was sharp contrast to our winter which for some months has wrapped up all earth with a white coverlet, has hidden under it an emerald of meadows, a blue of the rivers and lakes, has tightened the sky lead snow clouds.
