“You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.”

“Who comes into this country, and has come
Where golden crocus and narcissus bloom,
Where the Great Mother, mourning for her daughter
And beauty-drunken by the water
Glittering among grey-leaved olive-trees,
Has plucked a flower and sung her loss....”
