Quotes about spring

This obsessive ideal springs above all from frequent contact with enormous cities, from the junction of their innumerable connections. Charles Baudelaire

We now stood amazed at the sight, for their blotched and warty skins were of a curious fish-like iridescence, and the sunlight struck them with an ever-varying rainbow bloom as they moved.
