"Rich meanings of the prophet-Spring adorn, unseen, this colourless sky of folded showers, And folded winds; no blossom in the bowers; A poet's face asleep in this grey morn. Now in the midst of the old world forlorn. A mystic child is set in these still hours. I keep this time, even before the flowers, sacred to all the young and the unborn."
- Alice Meynell, In February
