It's almost spring. How does the weather or change in seasons affect your mood?

Don't ask. Just don't ask. Look at Sandro Botticelli's painting, or something. Primavera... Well. I used to like it, yes. A time to cast off the shackles of winter, ride out again, a good time to throw open the windows, air out the rooms, bring out the best silver - like a widow who, after her time of mourning, is no longer expected to dine off maiolica. Or as Lucretius wrote,

Spring-time and Venus come,
And Venus' boy, the winged harbinger, steps on before,
And hard on Zephyr's foot-prints Mother Flora,
Sprinkling the ways before them, filleth all
With colours and with odours excellent.

As for my mood... it's known to have been better. But then the green of Flora's coat stands for hope, too; I will simply have to learn to cling to it.

It only continues for a time, and eventually the pain is worn away. What remains does not hurt, but it is present inside you.

I can never speak of my first death, for those who killed me. Though I revenged myself for deeds that were evil, it left me ashamed and in torment for reasons I am never going to be able to speak of. I did once, and I cannot again. It is an unbearable agony, to know some of your greatest hurts you cannot speak of, for speaking them, and the truth in them, will only hurt others just as much.

I am actually a fan of a group of musicians called Clannad really and listen to their music a great deal, but this was the first song I saw.
