18th May: May

What do poets and writers make of this month? Read on and find out.


  1. Horticulturally, the month of May is opening night, Homecoming, and Graduation Day all rolled into one. Tam Mossman
  2. May is a pious fraud of the almanac; A ghastly parody of real Spring. James Russell Lowell
  3. It was one of those beautiful, lengthening days, when May was pressing back with both hands the shades of the morning and the evening. Amelia E. Barr
  4. The world's favourite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May. Edwin Way Teale
  5. Among the changing months, May stands confest The sweetest, and in fairest colours dressed. James Thomson
  6. When April steps aside for May, Like diamonds all the rain-drops glisten; Fresh violets open every day: To some new bird each hour we listen. Lucy Larcom
  7. Sweet May hath come to love us, Flowers, trees, their blossoms don; And through the blue heavens above us The very clouds move on. Heinrich Heine
  8. I thought that spring must last forevermore For I was young and loved, and it was May. Vera Brittain
  9. Queer things happen in the garden in May. Little faces forgotten appear, and plants thought to be dead suddenly wave a green hand to confound you. W. E. Johns
  10. When fishes leap in silver Stream; And forest bees are humming near, And cowslips in boys’ hats appear; We then may say that May is come. John Clare
