Attended Cold Spring

Famous quotes containing the words attended, cold and/or spring:

    Our passional nature not only lawfully may, but must, decide an option between propositions, whenever it is a genuine option that cannot by its nature be decided on intellectual grounds; for to say, under such circumstances, “Do not decide, but leave the question open,” is itself a passional decision—just like deciding yes or no—and is attended with the same risk of losing the truth.
    William James (1842–1910)

    I shall lie folded like a saint,
    Lapped in a scented linen sheet,
    On a bedstead striped with bright-blue paint,
    Narrow and cold and neat.
    Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    Feed him ye must, whose food fills you.
    And that this pleasure is like raine,
    Not sent ye for to drowne your paine,
    But for to make it spring againe.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
