Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Quotes About Spring

Quotes about: Spring

• To us who remain behind is left this day of memories. Every year--in the full tide of spring, at the height of the symphony of flowers and love and life--there comes a pause, and through the silence we hear the lonely pipe of death.

  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

  Lonely, Memories, Life And Love

• The wind blows out, the bubble dies; The spring entomb'd in autumn lies; The dew dries up; the star is shot; The flight is past, and man forgot.

  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

  Stars, Lying, Spring

• Our dead brothers and sisters still live for us and bid us think of life, not death-of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.

  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
