The title of this post plays on,"The Merry Month of May", a poem by Thomas Dekker (c. 1572–1632), an English playwright and indexes the Spring Rite. Not Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, a ballet that caused a riot at its premier May 1913 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. The rite of spring Dekker references is Beltane, a grand Gaelic festival that marked the start of summer.
