SPRING QUOTES III
quotations about spring
All things seem mention of themselves
And the names which stem from them branch out to other referents.
Hugely, spring exists again.
JOHN ASHBERY
"Grand Galop"
A little bird, he told me so
He said come on, get on the go
Open your eyes the sky is full of butterflies
The blossoms on the trees stir up the honey bees
Spring makes my fever right
ELVIS PRESLEY
"Spring Fever"
Spring hangs her infant blossoms on the trees,
Rock'd in the cradle of the western breeze.
WILLIAM COWPER
Tirocinium
The spring is a lively emblem of the Resurrection.
ANNE BRADSTREET
Meditations Divine and Moral
Under the gay and renovating influence of spring, nature renews her charter to her sons.
JOSEPH DENNIE
attributed, Day's Collacon
Don't you know what that is? It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want--oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
MARK TWAIN
Tom Sawyer, Detective
I come, I come! ye have called me long,
I come o'er the mountain with light and song:
Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,
By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,
By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,
By the green leaves, opening as I pass.
FELICIA HEMANS
Voice of Spring
It's the first day of spring. That means this weekend I'll take down my Christmas lights.
DAVID LETTERMAN
Late Show with David Letterman, March 20, 2012
Spring fever, Spring is here at last
Spring fever, my heart's beating fast
Get up, get out spring is everywhere
ELVIS PRESLEY
"Spring Fever"
The snow has not yet left the earth, but spring is already asking to enter your heart.
ANTON CHEKHOV
The Exclamation Mark
Spring is the rutting season of mankind.
ABRAHAM MILLER
Unmoral Maxims
People talk about the beauty of the spring, but I can't see it. The trees are brown and bare, slimy with rain. Some are crawling with new purple hairs. And the buds are bulging like tumorous acne, and I can tell that something wet, and soft, and cold, and misshapen is about to be born.
M. T. ANDERSON
Thirsty
Or maybe spring is the season of love and fall the season of mad lust. Spring for flirting but fall for the untamed delicious wild thing.
ELIZABETH COHEN
The Hypothetical Girl
Every April God rewrites the Book of Genesis.
AUSTIN O'MALLEY
Keystones of Thought
When soft May breezes fan the early woods,
And with her magic wand the blue-ey'd Spring
Quickens the swelling blossoms and the buds,
Then forth the russet partridge leads her brood,
While on the fallen tree-trunk drums her mate;
The quail her young in tangled thicket hides,
The dun deer with their fawns the forests range,
The wild-geese platoons hasten far in air;
The wild-ducks from their Southern lagoons pass,
And soaring high their Northwood journeying take;
The dusky coot along the coastline sweep;
The piping snipe and plover, that frequent
The sandy bars and beaches, wing their flight,
And all the grassy prairies of the West,
Teem with the speckled younglings of the grouse;
And all the budding forests and the streams
Are gay with beauty, joyous with young life.
ISAAC MCLELLAN
"Nature's Invitation"
Out of the city, far away
With Spring today!
Where copse tufted with primrose
Give me repose,
Wood-sorrel and wild violet
Soothe my soul's fret.
WILLIAM ALLINGHAM
"A Holiday"
Ooh, guess I'm falling much too fast
Ooh, I hope this love is gonna last, I've fallen
Ooh, the feeling's getting really strong
Ooh, gives me strength to carry on, I've fallen, I've fallen
Spring affair
DONNA SUMMER
"Spring Affair"
The budding and blooming of spring seem to belong properly to the opening of the months. It is the season of the quickest expansion, of the warmest blood, of the readiest growth; it is the boy-age of the year. The birds sing in chorus in the spring--just as children prattle; the brooks run full--like the overflow of young hearts; the showers drop easily--as young tears flow; and the whole sky is as capricious as the mind of a boy.
DONALD G. MITCHELL
"Spring", Dream Life: A Fable of the Seasons
It's Spring again
I can hear the birds sing again
See the flowers start to bud
See young people fall in love
LOU RAWLS
"Spring Again"
The spring came suddenly, bursting upon the world as a child bursts into a room, with a laugh and a shout and hands full of flowers.
