Springtime – Hope and Possibility

 

One of Emily Dickinson’s short poems begins “I dwell in Possibility…” –  and that line of poetry certainly comes to mind this year. Spring, as it awakens, traditionally brings with it hope, and a sense of “possibility” for the year that lies ahead. At Tauck, we’re especially fond of Vitamin N (standing for nature); it inspires us to create, to explore, and to recharge. And so the combination this year of Spring, along with Vitamin N, is both inspiring and invigorating. In this edition of The Compass, we take a look at Spring’s greatest masterpieces – from gardens – to Charleston and Savannah, two destinations where it always seems to be Spring – to the perpetual advent of Spring in Western Canada. But we begin with an interesting look at one of the world’s great travelers, writer Ernest Hemingway, who celebrated the 1920’s iconic Springtime in Paris in his memoir.

Ernest Hemingway

Writer and Traveler

Ernest HemingwayThe life of iconic author Ernest Hemingway could have defined the phrase “travel enthusiast”; he was, indeed, one of the world’s great travel writers. From his earliest days as a journalist to the years he spent becoming the novelist he is known as today, much of the inspiration for his works came from his travels – including the extended period of time in the 1920s that he spent in Paris, where he wrote of Spring in his memoir A Moveable Feast “When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest…” Our longtime partner filmmaker Ken Burns, along with filmmaker Lynn Novick, premiere their new three-part film on the visionary work and turbulent life of Ernest Hemingway April 5, 2021; learn more about the writer, and the film, inside.

Spring in Full Bloom

Gardens and Flowers

 

The word “Spring” conjures images of colorful blooms, evolutionary shades of green on trees – and the word “garden” conjures up a different image for just about everyone – yet both are universal in appeal. There are as many different garden styles, types, uses and designs as there are flowers, vegetables, seeds, and plants to call them home, and their beauty and sustainability is found on all seven continents. Gardens have long been a muse and inspiration for artists and writers, from Impressionist masterpieces in France to the literary gardens found in Alice’s Wonderland, the plays of William Shakespeare, or as immortalized by the world’s great poets. We’ve put together a wonderful look at some of the world’s great gardens along with some information on a special event for 2022 – Floriade Expo, the world’s fair of horticulture
