Flakes

Famous quotes containing the word flakes:

“Night sank: like flakes of silver fire
The stars in one great shower came down;”
—John Davidson (1857–1909)

“Some flakes have lost their way, and grope back upward, when
Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

“I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.

Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
And I told of the good All-father
Who cares for us here below.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
