If spring came but once a century instead of once a year, or

       burst forth with the sound of an earthquake and not in

       silence, what wonder and expectation there would be

       in all the hearts to behold the miraculous change.

                                                                  - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun.  I will touch a hundred

       flowers and not pick one.

                                                          - Edna St. Vincent Millay
