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 every life about you be rekindled by your own reviving light. And on this your journey, may the path be illumined with lanterns and early-blooming flowers.
