Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or spring:
“His golden locks time hath to silver turned;
O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
His youth ‘gainst time and age hath ever spurned,
But spurned in vain; youth waneth by increasing.
Beauty, strength, youth are flowers but fading seen;
Duty, faith, love are roots, and ever green.”
—George Peele (1559–1596)
“No, no! Go from me. I have still the flavour,
Soft as spring wind that’s come from birchen bowers.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
