Spring Awakening

Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or awakening:

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

“Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature—if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you—know that the morning and spring of your life are past. Thus may you feel your pulse.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
