Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or valley:

    All things seem mention of themselves
    And the names which stem from them branch out to other referents.
    Hugely, spring exists again.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
