Spring Heeled Jack

Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or jack:

    When the storm rattles my windowpane
    I’ll stay hunched at my desk, it will roar in vain
    For I’ll have plunged deep inside the thrill
    Of conjuring spring with the force of my will,
    Coaxing the sun from my heart, and building here
    Out of my fiery thoughts, a tepid atmosphere.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    This is the cow with the crumpled horn
    That tossed the dog
    Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. The House That Jack Built (l. 16–17)
