May every day of this grand turnaround of seasons seem longer than is wont of nature; may every morning find undiminished the golden splendor of the sun; may every evening find undimmed the silver splendor of the vesperstar; may everyone about you be awakened by your own reviving light; and on this your journey, may your path be illumined with lanterns and early-blooming flowers.
