In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin's breast;
In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest;
In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish'd dove;
In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.- Alfred, Lord Tennyson, from Locksley Hall.
Yes, today marks that long-awaited moment: the Vernal Equinox, known in some parts as "The First Day of Spring"!
Everything's on the up from now on, dear reader...
