Spring Awakening

Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or awakening:

“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)

“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)
