spring shoes voice
March is a tomboy with tousled hair, a mischievous smile, mud on her shoes and a laugh in her voice.
spring winter forever
No Winter lasts forever, no Spring skips its turn. April is a promise that May is bound to keep, and we know it.
spring keeping-promises may
April is a promise that May is bound to keep.
strong spring men
Man is not an aquatic animal, but from the time we stand in youthful wonder beside a Spring brook till we sit in old age and watch the endless roll of the sea, we feel a strong kinship with the waters of this world.
real spring paper
The longer I live and the more I read, the more certain I become that the real poems about spring aren't written on paper. They are written in the back pasture and the near meadow, and they are issued in a new revised edition every April.
appreciate knowing meaning understand
Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.
lonely winter autumn
The hush comes with the deepening of Autumn; but it comes gradually. Our ears are attuned to it, day by quieter day. But even now, if one awakens in the deep darkness of the small hours, one can hear it, a foretaste of Winter silence. It’s a little painful now, and a little lonely because it is so strange.
wild-roses orange stones
Here and there one sees the blush of wild rose haws or the warmth of orange fruit on the bittersweet, and back in the woods is the occasional twinkle of partridgeberries. But they are the gem stones, the rare decorations which make the grays, the browns and the greens seem even more quiet, more completely at rest.
beautiful morning views
As I stood and watched the mists slowly rising this morning I wondered what view was more beautiful than this.
horizon october leafs
October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen.
rain thinking rivers
Any river is really the summation of the whole valley. To think of it as nothing but water is to ignore the greater part.
historical sun west
He who travels west travels not only with the sun but with history.
unhappy mountain today
The most unhappy thing about conservation is that it is never permanent. Save a priceless woodland or an irreplaceable mountain today, and tomorrow it is threatened from another quarter.
nature looks certain
Nature seems to look after her own only up to a certain point; beyond that they are supposed to fend for themselves.
