For some further spring inspiration, I’ve compiled quotes and poetry in addition to store photos just for fun.

I love this season as my last blog implies, so I thought I’d continue this spring inspiration theme. Since I don’t read verse as much as I did in my youth, I wanted to pair poetry with photos. While researching this blog, it seems like poets and authors also felt inspired by this glorious season.

Shakespeare

See, where she comes apparell’d like the spring.

Pericles

Spring came on forever,

Spring came on forever,

Said the Chinese nightingale.

Thomas Nashe

Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king;

Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring.

Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing.

When proud-pied April, dress’d in all his trim,

Hath put a spirit of youth in everything.

A box where sweets compacted lie.
