Famous quotes containing the word seasons:

    “Let there be seasons so that our tongues will be rich in asparagus and limes.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “A sober mind will walk alone,
    Apart from nature, if need be,
    And only its own seasons own;
    For nature leaving its humanity.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
    As the swift seasons roll!
    Leave thy low-vaulted past!
    Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
    Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
    Till thou at length art free,
    Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
