"Yang ada hanyalah - muncul sendiri, denyutnya, kegelisahan ringan, esensi vitalnya di mana-mana; di langit, di awan yang deras, di bawah sinar matahari pucat, dan di angin kencang yang hangat - tiba-tiba naik, tenggelam tiba-tiba, impulsif ... Jika aku dilempar ke bawah penutup mata di padang rumput merah itu, aku seharusnya tahu bahwa itu adalah musim semi."

--- Willa Cather

Versi Bahasa Inggris

There was only - spring itself, the throb of it, the light restlessness, the vital essence of it everywhere; in the sky, in the swift clouds, in the pale sunshine, and in the warm high wind - rising suddenly, sinking suddenly, impulsive ... If I had been tossed down blindfold on that red prairie, I should have known that it was spring.
