This spring the colours seem to have been brighter and bolder than ever. The laburnums and lilacs have been brilliant in its proper sense, and the hawthorn, or may, has been exceptional – at least here in these parts:
If you came this way in may time, you would find the hedges
White again, in May, with voluptuary sweetness.
The same is true of the different greens of the leaves, and the varying shades of the flowers, there is a special vividness and beauty not seen for several years at least. The reason seems to be the cold that we had earlier on; the sharp frosts holding back the growth until a more appropriate time; the hard winter giving way to a multi-coloured spring. There seems to be something of a spiritual application here.
