The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,

A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March. — Robert Frost · 1934Self-reliance1 quote

And you're two months back in the middle of March. — Robert Frost · 1934Taking a different path1 quote
