'April advanced to May - a bright serene May it was; days of blue sky, placid sunshine, and soft western or southern gales filled up its duration. And now vegetation matured with vigour; Lowood shook loose its tresses, it became all green, all flowers;its great elm, ash, and oak skeletons were restored to to majestic life; woodland plants sprang up profusely in its recesses; unnumbered varieties of moss filled its hollows, and it made a strange ground-sunshine out of the wealth of its wild primrose plants; I have seen their pale gold gleam in overshadowed spots like scatterings of the sweetest lustre. All this I enjoyed often and fully, free, unwatched, and almost alone;' Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre

Here's wishing you wherever you live a bright serene May
It certainly looks like it will be - a trip into the Forest of Dean at the weekend to see if I can catch spring amongst the branches.
ReplyDeleteTonia - Enjoying catching spring this weekend.
DeleteCharlotte and Emily Bronte wrote beautifully about natural landscapes. Thank you for posting that extract and happy May!
ReplyDeleteNicola - I still have one more spring quote from Jane Eyre to post. Hope you have a Happy May as well.
DeleteWhat a great passage! I forgot how beautiful Charlotte Bronte's writing is.
