A Book of the Seasons: April 18.

April 18. 

These yellow blossoms,

seen through the rain and cold,

pledges of the sun's return.

April 18, 1852

By expectation
spring butterflies reappear
to complete the world.
April 18, 1852

An east wind. I hear 

the clock strike plainly ten or 

eleven P.M.
