Spring Loaded

Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or loaded:

    I swear to keep the dead upon my mind,/Disdain for all time to be overglad./Among spring flowers, under summer trees./By chilling autumn waters, in the frosts/Of supercilious winter—all my days/I’ll have as mentors those reproving ghosts.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Now night perfumes lie upon the air,
    As rests the blossom on the loaded bough;
    And each deep-drawn breath is redolent
    Of all the folded flowers’ mingled scent
    That rises in confused rapture now.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
