Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Addendum:

Re: "The British are Coming." Tragic that this virus “moment” has not made the man in the white house. On the contrary, it has exposed him for what he really is.

Too soon. A tentative, vilified Washington, riddled with self doubt, came back from depths of despair in the winter of 1777/78. As I said in my review, "the moment makes the man." The moment ain't happened yet.

Dear Steve,
I submit to you that the real strength of this country, the individual person (collectively “people”) is evinced only when “times are tough”.
We won’t know about this time until we can look back retrospectively; but I an hopeful.

Yeah, you're right, Steve...which of the three models (S.Korea containment, U.S. mitigation, Sweden herd contagion) will emerge as least damaging to people and the economy will be unknown until well into next Spring, I fear.
