Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Ikkyu

Break open
A cherry tree
And there are no flowers;

Brings forth myriad blossoms. — Ikkyu

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Yoshida Kenko

Are we to look at cherry blossoms only in full bloom, the moon only when it is cloudless? To long for the moon while looking on the rain, to lower the blinds and be unaware of the passing of the spring - these are even more deeply moving. Branches about to blossom or gardens strewn with flowers are worthier of our admiration. — Yoshida Kenko

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Georgia Kakalopoulou

Love is like a cherry blossoms ... they bloom at the first promise of the spring, they beautify even and the most grey landscape, they scatter at the first gust of the wind ...
But as they hold, when you look at them, you steal a little vew of paradise ... — Georgia Kakalopoulou

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Lynn Austin

I've seen spring come to the orchard every year as far back as I can remember and I've never grown tired of it. Oh, the wonder of it! The outrageous beauty! God didn't have to give us cherry blossoms you know. He didn't have to make apple trees and peach trees burst into flower and fragrance. But God just loves to splurge. He gives us all this magnificence and then, if that isn't enough, He provides fruit from such extravagance. — Lynn Austin

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Matsuo Basho

The oak tree:
not interested
in cherry blossoms. — Matsuo Basho

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Matsuo Basho

From all these trees, in the salads, the soup, everywhere, cherry blossoms fall. — Matsuo Basho

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Yasunari Kawabata

Yet the misty spring rain softened the outline of the mountain across the river and made it even more beautiful. So gentle was the rain that they hardly knew they were getting wet as they strolled back toward the car, not even bothering to put up their umbrella. The slender threads of rain vanished into the river without a ripple. Cherry blossoms were intermingled with young green leaves, the colours of the budding trees all delicately subdued in the rain. — Yasunari Kawabata

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Janet Frame

For in spite of the snapdragons and the duty millers and the cherry blossoms, it was always winter. — Janet Frame

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Doris Kearns Goodwin

Spring had come to Washington. The cherry blossoms were in bloom. Yet the glacial mood of the capital refused to melt. Accusations — Doris Kearns Goodwin

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Yoshida Kenko

Should we only be interested to view the cherry blossoms at their peak, or the moon when it is full? To yearn for the moon when it is raining, or to be closed up in ones room, failing to notice the passing of Spring, is far more moving. Treetops just before they break into blossom, or gardens strewn with fallen flowers are just as worthy of notice. There is much to see in them. Is it any less wonderful to say, in the preface to a poem, that it was written on viewing the cherry blossoms just after they had peaked, or that something had prevented one from seeing them altogether, than to say "on seeing the cherry blossoms"? Of course not. Flowers fall and the moon sets, these are the cyclic things of the world, but still there are brutish people who say that there is nothing left worth seeing, and fail to appreciate. — Yoshida Kenko

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Yukio Mishima

The blossoms seem unusually lovely this year. There were none of the scarlet-and-white-striped curtains that are set up among the blossoming trees so invariably that one has to come to think of them as the attire of cherry blossoms; there were no bustling tea-stalls, no holiday crowds of flower-viewers, no one hawking balloons and toy windmills; instead there were only the cherry trees blossoming undisturbed among the evergreens, making one feel as though he were seeing the naked bodies of the blossoms. Nature's free bounty and useless extravagance had never appeared so fantastically beautiful as it did this spring. I had an uncomfortable suspicion that Nature had come to reconquer the earth for herself. — Yukio Mishima

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Toni Morrison

So he raced from dogwood to blossoming peach. When they thinned out he headed for the cherry blossoms, then magnolia, chinaberry, pecan, walnut and prickly pear. At last he reached a field of apple trees whose flowers were just becoming tiny knots of fruit. Spring sauntered north, but he had to run like hell to keep it as his traveling companion. From February to July he was on the lookout for blossoms. When he lost them, and found himself without so much as a petal to guide him, he paused, climbed a tree on a hillock and scanned the horizon for a flash of pink or white in the leaf world that surrounded him. He did not touch them or stop to smell. He merely followed in their wake, a dark ragged figure guided by the blossoming plums. — Toni Morrison

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Ariwara No Narihira

If there were no
cherry blossoms
in this world
How much more tranquil
our hearts would be in spring. — Ariwara No Narihira

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Ikkyu

Look at the cherry blossoms!
Their color and scent fall with them,
Are gone forever,
Yet mindless
The spring comes again. — Ikkyu

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Audrey Niffenegger

Outside it's a perfect spring night. We stand on the sidewalk in front of our apartment building, and Henry takes my hand, and I look at him, and I raise our joined hands and Henry twirls me around and soon we're dancing down Belle Plaine Avenue, no music but the sound of cars whoosing by and our own laughter, and the smell of cherry blossoms that fall like snow on the sidewalk as we dance underneath the tress. — Audrey Niffenegger

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Kristian Goldmund Aumann

Life breathed spring (haiku)
spring awakening
dance of lovers
delicately wrapped in cherry blossoms — Kristian Goldmund Aumann

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Ikkyu

Break open the cherry tree: where are the blossoms? Just wait for spring time to see how they bloom. — Ikkyu

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By David B. Lentz

After vindictive winter, apple blossoms seem all the more heaven-sent.
Among flashing forsythia and budding rose, dogwood and daffodil,
The allure of magnolia, azalea and wisteria to lovers' dreams are lent.
Resolve is recompense as seedtime's blush dispenses with the chill,
How sweet-scented is New England now as winter tempests are through.
My darling girl, the divinest bloom in cherry blossom time just happens to be you. — David B. Lentz

Spring Cherry Blossoms Quotes By Cathy Davidson

The Japanese school year begins in spring ... so mothers can send off their children as cherry blossoms fall from the branches. — Cathy Davidson
