summer's coming... and i am inspired by the beautiful words of keats in his "ode to a nightingale" (although they carry a weighty sadness):

The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild;
     White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine;
          Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves;
               And mid-May's eldest child,
     The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine,
          The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.
have i changed in the past year? i used to love autumn, detest summer... and while i can't say that i love summer and detest autumn, my feelings about these two seasons are markedly different. autumn will always hold a certain quiet poignancy, and as for summer -- i'm actively looking forward to it... those somnolent summer days...
