βIf Spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all hearts to behold the miraculous change! But now the silent succession suggests nothing but necessity. To most men only the cessation of the miracle would be miraculous and the perpetual exercise of Godβs power seems less wonderful than its withdrawal would be.β
β Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
As a native Mainer, Longfellow understood just how dramatic and miraculous the shift in seasons can feel. By the time May truly takes hold, the change in the air across the state is undeniable. Our team of Nurse Anesthesiologists wishes our patients and hospital partners a bright, beautiful weekend as Maine really begins to bloom!
