Famous quotes containing the word spring:

    Lifeless in appearance, sluggish
    dazed spring approaches—
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    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)

    Through winter-time we call on spring,
    And through the spring on summer call,
    And when abounding hedges ring
    Declare that winter’s best of all;
    And after that there’s nothing good
    Because the spring-time has not come....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
