This article describes the onset of spring in Ultima Thule. In Ultima Thule, spring comes slowly and bitten by frost; but into this May day is poured all the sweet of the year. The air is wine, the sky is sapphire, the sun is shining in his strength. All the trees are blossoming at once. The stir of life in all the world affects you like some mysterious presence, impossible to miss. The main harbor has the figure of an hour-glass, with the end broken off, and opening to the sea. The waist is called the narrows, and the other half the basin. The term is originally French and the analogy holds fairly well.
