Good summary of the Thoreau, Emerson, and Emerson love triangle, and his interesting (not to mention contradictory) views on love and gender in general.

Part of me really wants to celebrate early spring and things like Imbolc and Goa month, but honestly I'm just too upset about how short and mild the winter was, how different it was from what I remember growing up, how much has changed in such a short time.

I'm not really in much of a celebratory mood. I suppose birth and new life are always tinged with grief and lament; I am still mourning the winter.

1/2 in a letter to in 1842:

"When we look over the fields are we not saddened because the particular flowers or grasses will wither—for the law of their death is the law of new life. Will not the land be in good heart because the crops die down from year to year? The herbage cheerfully consents to bloom, and wither, and give place to new.
