Warm Spring

Famous quotes containing the words warm spring, warm and/or spring:

    ... his voice and hands,
    Within whose warm spring rain of loving care
    Each dwells some twenty seconds. Now, dear child,
    What’s wrong, the deep American voice demands,
    And, scarcely pausing, goes into a prayer
    Directing God about this eye, that knee.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    All the old supports going, gone, this man reaches out a hand to steady himself on a ledge of rough brick that is warm in the sun: his hand feeds him messages of solidity, but his mind messages of destruction, for this breathing substance, made of earth, will be a dance of atoms, he knows it, his intelligence tells him so: there will soon be war, he is in the middle of war, where he stands will be a waste, mounds of rubble, and this solid earthy substance will be a film of dust on ruins.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    All things seem mention of themselves
    And the names which stem from them branch out to other referents.
    Hugely, spring exists again.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
