Roaring Spring

Famous quotes containing the words roaring and/or spring:

    “he changed and ran
    Through many shapes; I lunged at the smooth throat
    Of a great eel; it changed, and I but smote
    A fir-tree roaring in its leafless top;
    And thereupon I drew the livid chop
    Of a drowned dripping body to my breast....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
