I think that no
matter how old ~Edward Giobbi
Awake, thou wintry earth - ~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"

The Earth is like a child that knows poems. ~Rainer Maria Rilke If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom. ~Audra Foveo The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring. ~Bern Williams If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. ~Nadine Stair The seasons are what a symphony ought to be: four perfect movements in harmony with each other. ~Arthur Rubenstein Quotes provided by
