This couplet from Bai Juyi’s poem “Qiantang Lake Spring Walk” (《钱塘湖春行》) depicts the beauty of early spring, where flowers can overwhelm the senses and the grass is just beginning to grow, offering only a gentle cover. 

It highlights the beauty of nature, a sense of renewal, and the fleeting moments that inspire awe – reminding us all to appreciate and enjoy these ephemeral scenes.

Welcome, April! Here’s to nature’s renewal, and experiencing each moment in this life as best we can.
