Supposed that he had come to dwell,
And life would be all spring.”

“There is a sumptuous variety about the New England weather that compels the stranger's admiration — and regret. The weather is always doing something there; always attending strictly to business; always getting up new designs and trying them on people to see how they will go. But it gets through more business in spring than in any other season. In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of twenty-four hours.”

Mark Twain (1835–1910) American author and humorist

Praise for them springing
Fresh from the Word!”
