<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">A child is not a vase to be filled, but a fire to be lit.</p>
</blockquote>
<h6 style="text-align: center;"><strong>— Montaigne <em>1533–1592</em></strong></h6>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The March poets have caught the spirit of being a youngster. They have given birth to artistically magical lines that explore the world of children and conjure up the beauties, worries, and memories of childhood.<br>
With acute and cute accuracy, some have created sweet, solemn poems, others deliciously playful pieces, and one even offered a riddle whose solution gives the key to a successful infant life. The March poems are to be savoured like true delicacies.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: center;"><strong>— Brigitte Poirson</strong></h6>
