April

“We can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.”


from The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot (b. 22 November 1819 – d. 22 December 1880)

April

“They came on one of April’s most brilliant days – a day as sparkling as a newly-washed lemon…a day when even the shadows were a melange of blue and orange and jade, like the shadows that poured from the tipsy brush of Monet.”


~ Beverley Nichols, British author (b. 9 September 1898 – d. 15 September 1983)
