Spring River Proper

Famous quotes containing the words spring, river and/or proper:

    So Spring comes merry towards me here, but earns
    No answering smile from me, whose life is twin’d
    With the dead boughs that winter still must bind,
    Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms time, rescuing it simply from its proper corruption.
    André Bazin (1918–1958)
