“In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove;
In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson

“What in your life is calling you, When all the noise is silenced,
The meetings adjourned… The lists laid aside, And the Wild Iris blooms
By itself In the dark forest… What still pulls on your soul?” — Rumi
