Springs

Famous quotes containing the word springs:

    And since to look at things in bloom
    Fifty springs are little room,
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    At Eutaw Springs the valiant died;
    Their limbs with dust are covered o’er—
    Weep on, ye springs, your tearful tide;
    How many heroes are no more!
    Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    Out of the slimy mud of words, out of the sleet and hail of verbal imprecisions,
    Approximate thoughts and feelings, words that have taken the place of thoughts and feelings,
    There springs the perfect order of speech, and the beauty of incantation.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
