The season would eventually start on Thursday, March 31. Similarly, most teams opened the 2012 season on Thursday (April 5) or Friday (April 6).

“The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”

And healing pools where I cannot be healed.
Fragrant stars will gleam forever and ever
Above the place where I lie desolate.”
