Famous quotes containing the word springing:

    The young pines springing up in the corn-fields from year to year are to me a refreshing fact.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
    And give us not to think so far away
    As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
    All simply in the springing of the year.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Everywhere—all over Africa and South America ... you see these suburbs springing up. They represent the optimum of what people want. There’s a certain sort of logic leading towards these immaculate suburbs. And they’re terrifying, because they are the death of the soul.... This is the prison this planet is being turned into.
    —J.G. (James Graham)
