Quotations

The flowers anew returning seasons bring,But beauty faded has no second spring.

Ambrose Philips, Pastoral

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ode to the West Wind

The year's at the spring,And day's at the morn;Morning's at seven;The hill-side's dew-pearl'd;The lark's on the wing;The snail's on the thorn;God's in His heaven--All's right with the world !　

Robert Browning, Pippa's Song in Pippa Passes

Is it so small a thingTo have enjoy'd the sun,To have lived light in the spring,To have loved, to have thought, to have done;

Matthew Arnold, "From the Hymn of Empedocles"

Listen, can you hear it? Spring's sweet cantata. The strains of grass pushing through the snow. The song of buds swelling on the vine. The tender timpani of a baby robin's heart. Spring.

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Wake Up Call, 1992

O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day!

William Shakespeare, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act 1 scene 3

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring—When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrushThrough the echoing timber does so rinse and wringThe ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.

Gerard Manley Hopkins, "Spring"
