Quote by Henry Vaughan
So stick up ivy and the bays, and then restore the heathen ways, green will remind you of the Spring, though this great day denies the thing, and mortifies the earth, and all, but your wild revels, and loose hall.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the contrast between the joyous arrival of spring, represented by the ivy and bays, and the somber atmosphere of the present moment. It suggests that even though the current "great day" may suppress the natural vitality of the earth, it cannot dampen the wild celebrations and freedom within people's hearts. Despite the external forces attempting to restrict and repress, the quote encourages a revival of ancient pagan traditions and a return to nature's vibrant spirit.
