Famous quotes containing the word april:

    “Spring’s an expansive time: yet I don’t trust
    March with its peck of dust,
    Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers,
    Nor even May, whose flowers
    One frost may wither thro’ the sunless hours.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
