For when the spring-like face of day awakes, And the West Wind, unloosed, flies Procreant forth, Then first the coursing birds, smitten at heart, Betray, Lady, thy entrance and thy power, And then the beasts caper in happy pastures And swim swift floods; so all created things, Captive to thee, drawn by their own desire, Stray through the world where'er thy presence leads.

"The-Natural-History-of-Selborne"
White, Gilbert
It only becomes a thing of delight when Time is being borne to his tomb in eternity, for then the spirit of the Earth, man's Procreant mind, fills it with his own joyousness.

William Butler Yeats
