Spring is the season of gaiety, and winter of terror; in spring the heart of tranquility dances to the melody of the groves, and the eye of benevolence sparkles at the sight of happiness and plenty: in winter, compassion melts at universal calamity, and the tear of softness starts at the wailing of hunger and the cries of the creation in distress

Spring Is The Season Of Gaiety, And

Samuel Johnson
Spring is the season of gaiety, and winter of terror; in spring the heart of tranquility dances to the melody of the groves, and the eye of benevolence sparkles at the sight of happiness and plenty: in winter, compassion melts at universal calamity, and the tear of softness starts at the wailing of hunger and the cries of the creation in distress

More From Samuel Johnson

When someone kisses someone or flushes the toilet it is my other who sits in a ball and cries. my other beats a tin drum in my heart. my other hangs up laundry as i try to sleep. my other cries and cries and cries when i put on a cocktail dress.
Sleep Heart Kissing
Melodies can be good depending on the context. you can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. you can also have a complex melody. the more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. you could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.
Writing Simple Giving
Too late for changes, too late perhaps for explanations and ideological webs, but the love goes on, the love goes on, blind to laws and warnings and even to wisdom and to fears. and whatever that love is, perhaps an illusion of a new love, i want it, i cant resist it, my whole being melts in one kiss, my knowledge melts, my fears melt, my blood dances, my legs open.

So if hunger provokes wailing and wailing brings the breast; if the breast permits sucking and milk suggests its swallow; if swallowing issues in sleep and stomachy comfort, then need, ache, message, object, act, and satisfaction are soon associated like charms on a chain; shortly our wants begin to envision the things which well reduce them, and the organism is finally said to wish.

If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. you will in due season have great impatience of public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. you will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. you will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.
War Passion Independence
It is not the high summer alone that is god's. the winter also is his. and into his winter he came to visit us. and all man's winters are his - the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of our unhappiness - even 'the winter of our discontent.

To set one's name to a work gives no one a title to be remembered, for who knows how many of the best of men have gone without a trace? the iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when wretchedness falls upon us one summer's day like snow, all we wish for is to be forgotten.
Summer Fall Men
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, with sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.
Summer Dream Sweet
One summer morning at sunrise a long time ago i met a little girl with a book under her arm. i asked her why she was out so early and she answered that there were too many books and far too little time. and there she was absolutely right.
Girl Summer Morning
In summer, intolerable closeness; in winter, unendurable cold. all the floors were rotten. filth on the floors an inch thick; one could slip and fall.
