The Mad Mood of Spring in Fontetec County
A humorous regional column mocks spring’s arrival at 10:06 p.m. on March 20 and March 21 as standard time, portraying the season as fickle, irrational, and dangerous. It lampoons poets and Shakespeare, likening spring to a volatile, self-indulgent young woman who causes mischief and mayhem, with witty disdain for her unpredictability.
