"It is the vernal season; for the heart is every moment longing to walk in the
garden, and every bird of the grove is melodious in its carols as the nightingale ;
thou wilt fancy it a dawning zephyr of early spring, or new year's day morning;
but it is the breath of Jesus, for in that fresh breath and verdure the dead earth
is reviving." SAADI.
