‘Dear March – Come in –
/How glad I am –
/I hoped for you before –
/Put down your Hat –
/ You must have walked –
/ How out of Breath you are –
/ Dear March, how are you, and the Rest –
/ Did you leave Nature well –
/ Oh March, Come right upstairs with me –
/ I have so much to tell…’
Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886.
