Quotation
“Must, bid the Morn awake! Sad Winter now declines, Each bird doth choose a mate; This day's Saint Valentine's. For that good bishop's sake Get up and let us see What beauty it shall be That Fortune us assigns.”
Michael Drayton
The idea behind the quotation
As winter fades and birds choose their mates, the speaker urges someone to rise on Valentine’s Day and discover what beauty fate has chosen for them.
