Elizabeth von Arnim Quotes
...the greater part or my spring happiness is due to the scent of the wet earth and young leaves. I am always happy out of doors be it understood, for indoors there are servants and furniture, but in quite different ways, and my spring happiness bears no resemblance to my summer or autumn happiness, though it is not more intense, and there were days last winter when I danced for sheer joy out in my frost-bound garden in spite of my years and children. But I did it behind a bush, having a due regard for the decencies.Elizabeth von Arnim
