Quote of the Day (Sara Teasdale, on Spring’s ‘Soft Rains’)

“There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,

And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,

And wild plum trees in tremulous white.”— Sara Teasdale (1884-1933), “There Will Come Soft Rains (War Time),” in The Four Seasons: Poems, edited by J. D. McClatchy (2008)
