Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or valley:
“sullen fun
Savage as childhood’s thin harmonious tear:
O fountain, bosom source undying-dead
Replenish me the spring of love and fear”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“As I went forth early on a still and frosty morning, the trees looked like airy creatures of darkness caught napping; on this side huddled together, with their gray hairs streaming, in a secluded valley which the sun had not penetrated; on that, hurrying off in Indian file along some watercourse, while the shrubs and grasses, like elves and fairies of the night, sought to hide their diminished heads in the snow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
