Famous quotes containing the word spring:
“Through winter-time we call on spring,
And through the spring on summer call,
And when abounding hedges ring
Declare that winters best of all;
And after that theres nothing good
Because the spring-time has not come....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“I love to weigh, to settle, to gravitate toward that which most strongly and rightfully attracts me;Mnot hang by the beam of the scale and try to weigh less,not suppose a case, but take the case that is; to travel the only path I can, and that on which no power can resist me. It affords me no satisfaction to commence to spring an arch before I have got a solid foundation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I think that in the swift white minds brain
Neurons flash images of a world
Undead and deathless, burgeoning again.
I think that Spring will come this way, unfurled.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
