April, the angel of the months, the young love of the year.
Vita Sackville-West
Click, clack, click, clack, went their conversation, like so many knitting-needles, purl, plain, purl, plain, achieving a complex pattern of references, cross-references, Christian names, nicknames, and fleeting allusions.
Vita Sackville-West
I loved you when love was Spring, and May, Loved you when summer deepened into June, and now when autumn yellows all the leaves.
Vita Sackville-West
Serenity of spirit and turbulence of action should make up the sum of a man's life.
Vita Sackville-West
Nothing shows up the difference between the things said or read, so much as the daily experience of it.
Vita Sackville-West
I suppose the pleasure of the country life lies really in the eternally renewed evidences of the determination to live. That is a truism when said, but anything but a truism when daily observed. Nothing shows up the difference between the thing said or read, so much as the daily experience of it.
Vita Sackville-West
Summer makes a silence after spring.
Vita Sackville-West
The more one gardens, the more one learns And the more one learns, the more one realizes how little one knows.
Vita Sackville-West
To hope for Paradise is to live in Paradise, a very different thing from actually getting there.
Vita Sackville-West
The most noteworthy thing about gardeners is that they are always optimistic, always enterprising, and never satisfied. They always look forward to doing something better than they have ever done before.
Vita Sackville-West
I worshipped dead men for their strength, Forgetting I was strong.
Vita Sackville-West
It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment?
Vita Sackville-West
Forget not bees in winter, though they sleep.
Vita Sackville-West
There's no beginning to the farmer's year, / Only recurrent patterns on a scroll / Unwinding...
Vita Sackville-West
For bees are captious folk / And quick to turn against the lubber's touch.
Vita Sackville-West
For the last 40 years of my life I have broken my back, my fingernails, and sometimes my heart, in the practical pursuit of my favourite occupation.
Vita Sackville-West
The writer catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Growth is exciting growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind.
Vita Sackville-West
Women, like men, ought to have their years so glutted with freedom that they hate the very idea of freedom.
Vita Sackville-West
There is always something else to do. A gardener should have nine times as many lives as a cat.
Vita Sackville-West
Things were not tragic for us then, because although we cared passionately we didn't care deeply.
Vita Sackville-West
