Despite everything, it's Spring

I posted this quote last Spring. And it is regretable how much more apropo itseems this year.

“The bombs are piling up in the warehouse, the police are prowling the cities, the lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but the earth is still going round the sun and neither the dictators nor the beaucrates, as deeply as they disappove of the process, are able to prevent it.”

George Orwell’s take on Spring. A strangely cheerful thought, from someone from whom cheerful thought were hard won.
So, happy Spring, everybody, anyway.

I have seasonal happiness scheduled only from May through August this year. Until then, I’ll be under the desk.
