It had rained heavily all night in the wild west Highlands of Scotland, and when Algy woke up in the morning the world was obscured by dense, grey Scotch mist again, and there were new pools of standing water everywhere.

But as the day advanced the air began to clear, and the water simply vanished – with remarkable speed – in the mysterious manner peculiar to this land where the higher ground is surrounded by deep peat bogs and drained by multiple burns that flow swiflty into the adjacent sea.

And by the time that Algy was ready to settle down with a good book of verse for some light Sunday afternoon reading, the wind had swung right round from the chilly north to the milder south, and a little watery sunshine was breaking through the clouds, albeit reluctantly.

So Algy returned to the old garden bench, tucked himself tightly into one corner, and opened his heavy volume at a random page, where by chance he read:

O THOU with dewy locks, who lookest down Through the clear windows of the morning, turn Thine angel eyes upon our western isle, Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring! The hills tell one another, and the listening Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turn'd Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth And let thy holy feet visit our clime! Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments; let us taste Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls Upon our lovesick land that mourns for thee. O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put Thy golden crown upon her languish'd head, Whose modest tresses are bound up for thee.

[Algy is reading the poem To Spring by the late 18th/early 19th century English poet William Blake.]

Although Thyme has long since learned how to wait in the car quietly - he still hates the confinement concept and has lots of feelings to let out.

my spring

come touch me

the way the sun 

kisses the naked ground

min vår

kom rör mig

så som solen

kysser den nakna marken

«To Spring is a 1936 animated musical short produced by Harman and Ising for the MGM cartoon studio's Happy Harmonies series.

Although the production credit goes to Harman and Ising this short was actually the first cartoon to be directed by the future cartoon legend William Hanna, along with animator Paul Fennell.»
