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.)
