"Spring"

[camilee]

To what purpose, April, do you return again? 
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify? 
Not only under ground

Oh Edna, how we love thee . . .

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
-From T.S. Eliot's Wasteland

Beautiful.

Hey, I think I'll be coming to Asheville next weekend. Where is it you work again? Where is it?
