Dorothy Parker klaagt over April: “Every year, back comes Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants".
Doet de Lente iets met ons?

Stephen Rosen (auteur van Weathering: How the Atmosphere Conditions Your Body, Your Mind, Your Moods — and Your Health) schrijft op een blog:
If the physicians measure spring fever but do not understand it,
then it is poets who — without measuring — comprehend our “inner
weather” and spring fever. “I am what is around me,” wrote the poet
Wallace Stevens. When Byron said, “I am always most religious on a
sunshiny day,” he was referring to atmospheric intimacy. Shakespeare was
acutely aware of “tides in the affairs of men” — possibly atmospheric
tides — or what he called “skyey influences that importuned our
creaturehood.” Weather-sensitivity.
These poets’ subconscious was so closely interwoven with their organic world, with their environment — emotional, physical, even thermal — that they became clearly conscious of it. They are called geniuses. And to the extent that we participate in spring fever, we experience a glimpse of our own genius.

Tja.
