Several years ago Polly Halliday (Flo on "Alice") recited or read a
poem on (probably) a variety show on TV. I remember only one line from
the poem and it has been bugging me for years.  The line is "Can
fifty-two springs be too many?"  It must have been referring to death,
but it was so long ago that may not be correct.  I have searched
quotations and some poets.

The only poem connected to Polly Holliday that I could find which has
a reference to "springs" is a poem she wrote about her mother that
contains these lines:

"The darkest days of pain are over,
 You have entered your place of springs."

"52 springs" sounds like a reference to Coleridge, who wrote "I feel
as if God had, by giving the Sabbath, given 52 springs in every year."
