Spring

Famous quotes containing the word spring:

“The firelight of a long, blind, dreaming story
Lingers upon your lips; and I have seen
Firm, fixed forever in your closing eyes,
The Corn King beckoning to his Spring Queen.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

“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)

“I don’t see any mango buds,
Mother-in-Law,
and the wind
with that Malabar smell
isn’t blowing,
but my longing alone says
that spring has come.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
