Gardening Quote of the Day

"The trees are coming into leaf Like something almost being said; The recent buds relax and spread, Their greenness is a kind of grief. Is it that they are born again And we grow old? No, they die too. Their yearly trick of looking new Is written down in rings of grain..."

(Philip Larkin, English poet (born 8/9/1922))
