The Call: In a Sea of Grass — Jessica

Sometimes the ideas for the calls don’t pop into my head. Today was one of those days. In those cases, I do what any modern, self-respecting educated person does: I turned to google. Typing in “Reign quotes” (or whatever the call is) always turns up something! In this case, I found a new favorite quote:

No one would have doubted his ability to reign had he never been emperor.
— Tacitus

The Latin is just as good (even if I can only understand a little bit of it): Omnium consensu capax imperii nisi imperasset.


Response: Purple Crocus — Cheryl

When we lived in Colorado, snowdrops reigned as the earliest harbingers of Spring. Here in Maine, that distinction goes to crocuses.
