Spring is the time when classic literature is at its best. And we are fortunate enough to be able to enjoy what the literary giants have left to us regarding the season. Their prose is, let’s say, more than pretty. As Anne said in L.M. Montgomery’s “Anne of Green Gables”: “Pretty? Oh, pretty doesn’t seem the right word to use. Nor beautiful, either. They don’t go far enough. Oh, it was wonderful—wonderful.”
As I tracked down the following passages, they brought me back to the first time I encountered them and the pleasure of those moments. May these take you, too, back to your first joy of discovering wonderful prose, wonderful scenery, and wonderful sentiments.
