Nothing Short of a Miracle

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

"For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers
appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come..."

Song of Solomon 2:11-12
