There is a line of Gerard Manley Hopkins that returns to me every March without fail:
\"Nothing is so beautiful as Spring —
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush\"
What strikes me is that word \"weeds.\" Not blossoms, not daffodils — weeds. Hopkins finds his rapture in the unkempt, the unbidden. The beauty that nobody planted.
One suspects that is where most real beauty lives — in the things that arrive without invitation.
