It was the beginning of spring. A thin, bright wave of budding green flowed over the round, beautifully rounded hills; the trees shed their winter forms, the brown network with sharp outlines, and merged into one another with young leaves playing and into the colors of the landscape as an unlimited, flowing wave of vibrant green. The "infinitely beautiful" spring inspired Hermann Hesse to a multitude of poems and reflections in which he contemplated the magic and mysterious aura of spring.
