Spread

Famous quotes containing the word spread:

His absurd whiskers sticking out like a cartoon-mouse,
His feet like small leaves,
Little lizard-feet,
Whitish and spread wide when he tried to struggle away,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

At the spread of spring:
Birds crazed with flight
Branches that fling
Leaves up to the light”
