With the years the seasons changed,
And we were lush as the underside of August.”

“Today was very sad,
and even if tomorrow, I cry,
someday I will be able to laugh
and remember our time together.
How many seasons must pass,
in this, our finite existence?
If we live in the "now",
what will we find?”

Ayumi Hamasaki (1978) Japanese recording artist, lyricist, model, and actress

the south bank of the Yangtse
When will the bright moon
light my journey home?”

《泊船瓜洲》

“Autumn was falling, but the pine
Seem'd as it mock'd all change; no sign
Of season on its leaf was seen,
The same dark gloom of changeless green.
But like the gorgeous Persian bands
'Mid the stern race of northern lands,
The chesnut boughs were bright with all
That gilds and mocks the autumn's fall.”

Letitia Elizabeth Landon (1802–1838) English poet and novelist

The Troubadour (1825)

“Many books in my library are now behind and beneath me. They were good in their way once, and so were the clothes I wore when I was ten years old; but I have outgrown them. Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.”

“Nothing is so beautiful as Spring—
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush”

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889) English poet

" Spring http://www.bartleby.com/122/9.html", stanza 1 Wessex Poems and Other Verses (1918) Context: Nothing is so beautiful as Spring— When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
