AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
it's A State :Of Mind
Spring is. nota a season. it's a
state :of •mind.. To Browning
writing • in Italy,, it was, "0h, To.
Be in England,' Now. That Ap-.
• ril's, There"' To • Botticelli, it•
was delicate, :long-legged ladies'
in long nightgowns, scattering
petals as :they danced. To Bee= •
Mt*, it was Jambs gambolling
to the notes' of :the shepherd's
pipe+'
But in'these.parts; it's aa time
of agony and ecstasy, depending
on what age you are, .and what
you.•are„ up to. .
Ecstasy, .for: Tittle kids. Off
with the sno'Wboots, and snow-.
suits.. hurled into a corner.. Out
• into the wonderful world, from
so long' ago . they can scarcely
remember: wading _puddles.'
building , sinky' rafts, shooting
marbles; skipping. picking pus=
sywillows; And lovely,'. brown.
soft, , silky, sludgy, slimey mud
everywhere: 'Heaven. •
.•it's' ecstasy for the . young, in
:love. For :the first; time in vc..
months they. can !hold han
barehanded, on , the way hom
from school. They can hang
around the girl's back door, or
the'corner,'for an hour, talking
inanities, joyous in the certainty
they won't freeze to death.
Could anybody be ° happier,
and cockier, than the young•
mothers in ,spring? • * Trim. • girls
last fall, they wheel' their prams
' down the -street on the first sun
fly day, three abreast, pushing
honest: taxpayers into the gutter,
as they • display with utmost
pride those miracles they pro
..'.duced during the .winter. They
are women . this spring.
For our senior citizens, spring
. brings another' kind of
happi
• ness, 'a -quiet, deep one, • They
have been dicing with death all
winter. They have suffered lone-
liness and 'pain and despair.
• That first balmy day of spring
• warms their old hearts andtheir
old bones. It's.a promise of life
renewed, which they need,badly.
• I think . farmers and sailors
are happy in the spring. For the.
former, it means another eight
months of back -breaking labor
with 'small return. For the lat-
ter, it means back to work often.
dull, often dirty„ and the timeli-
ness of absence from, families.
But both are ready for it, 'after
being. underfoot all winter. It
restores purpose to life. A man'
who isn't working is only. half
a man.
For the housewife, Spring is
combination of. the agony and
the ecstasy. There's the agony of
choosing, •the •.,right , paint .and
:wallpaper, the ecstasy ot attack-
ing the house .like -the Assyrian
coming • down on : the fold. :
Gardeners are ,happy.. Gloves,:
on, they go out in the back: yard •
• and .joyously muck about. They
squall , over :the first crocus,: in-
hale with ' delight • the. rotting
stench of long -buried earth;' plan
glorioua gardens in the mind's
eye.
Golfers are; giddy with glad-
ness. The .last, streaks •'of snow
are 'still under :the pines. The
course • is muddy,: the wind ,,hill
But the first day the flags
,are up, they're out there., You:
see,, this :is the year when they.•
• will slice not, nor will they
hook. They ` feel -it in their
bones. :
Anglers are: snooping 'the
•. countryside, -looking: for new.
' beaver . dams, checking last
year's choice' spots.. Opening: day
is still not here, ' but they're;
dreaming of that first :speckled
beauty, caught on the first cast.
• Merchants are optimistic: Peo-
ple are coming• into the: store
for something • •besides 'keeping
warm: Building booms; and the
carpenter, 'electrician, .plumber:
bricklayer, feel a .surge of 'hope
after a slow winter:
Where's the agony, then, 'if, •
everybody is so .happy about
spring? We've run almost the.
whole gamut,.and nobody is suf.
Tering..
What about the university
', student? There Face hundreds of
thousands of them. They are
chewing their nails, pulling 'out
their beau'tiful hair in handfuls;
sweating cold with fear. Outside
•Reckon: -the sun and soft wind, •
• lnside beckon blear -eyed grind,
despair, :guilt.,•
Andwhat about the' ordinary,
• middle-aged codger like me?
Bursitis' behaving badly in the
cruel winds of April. Income tax.
looming •like 'an iceberg. House
needs painting. Backyard looks.
like. •an exhibition of Pop arta
Car on its • last legs. Christmas
presents not yet 'paid for: Hair-
line • receding rapidly., Harder
and . harder to get out of -sack in .
morning. Kids getting more dif
neon: •
For us, spring is forthe birds.
And you should hear the little
stinkers, about five a.m., just
when we're finally -falling into a
sound sleep,
