Hey Look!: First Day of Spring

3.20.2006

A cheery thought on the first day of Spring--bunnies, eggs, and such reminding us of rebirth. Or more snow, depending.

Julie said...: um... I have a complex set of metaphorical images associated with spring, including tulips, robins, singing in the rain and fake-gold gilded Easter cards, and I don't appreciate having 'Death' added to the mix. Death clearly belongs in the winter category, not the spring category.

If you are going to mess with my neatly parochial image set, the least you could do is provide me with images of surrealist killer daffodils.; 1:30 PM
Mr. Miro said...: This is an overcoming of death; it's not clear whether you posted before or after I added my commentary. And what is Spring about if not the overcoming of Death? Can you imagine Jesus crucified on Yom Kippur?
However, your comment is taken, and in fact one of the earliest appearances of Mr. Miro was as a larger-than-life daisy (over three feet high), which was quite disturbing. Not sure how I would go about posting that one, though.
Also, Le Sacre du Printemps plays into my images of Spring, and that messes things up, too.; 1:57 PM
Julie said...: I don't remember reading your commentary, so I must have commented before you added it. Sorry for jumping the gun- I see how it works now.

The image of Mr. Miro as a 3ft. tall daisy is troubling, but it did successfully remove my desire to see surrealist daffodils.; 2:51 PM
