The hot and sanguinary fight
Begins with each new creature's birth:

Where still the strongest slay and win,
Where weakness is the only sin. — Mathilde Blind

Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again. — Mathilde Blind
