Quote of the Week:
"The month of May was come, when every lusty heart beginneth
to blossom, and to bring forth fruit; for like as herbs and trees 
bring forth fruit and flourish in May, in likewise every lusty heart
that is in any manner a lover, springeth and flourisheth in lusty
deeds.  For it giveth unto all lovers courage, 
that lusty month of May." 
-   Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte d'Arthur , 1485
