Summary

This quote means that no matter how much someone tries to suppress or destroy something positive or beautiful, such as joy, growth, or new beginnings (symbolized by "spring"), these things will eventually emerge and flourish. It emphasizes the resilience and power of natural cycles and the inability to truly suppress or halt their inevitable arrival. Just like flowers that can be cut, spring will always come back, representing the enduring nature of hope and optimism in the face of adversity.
