Today, April 22nd marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. As most of us sit cooped up inside, practicing social distancing, while Spring is moving ahead unfazed with its magnificent, unalterable plans, we thought it would be nice to ease your stress with a beautiful little poem called “Spring “ (Весна) by the modernist Western Ukrainian poet Bohdan-Ihor Antonych (1909-1937), author of six books of poetry, known for his vivid, often nature-based images. The poem comes from the 1938 posthumous volume Green Evangelion.
