Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or valley:

    No, no! Go from me. I have still the flavour,
    Soft as spring wind that’s come from birchen bowers.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    I see before me now a traveling army halting,
    Below a fertile valley spread, with barns and the orchards of summer,
    Behind, the terraced sides of a mountain, abrupt, in places rising high,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
