Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or king:

    The sky seemed so small that winter day,
    A dirty light on a lifeless world,
    Contracted like a withered stick.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Would you—be good enough—” Alice panted out, after running a little further, “to stop a minute—just to get—one’s breath again?”
    “I’m good enough,” the King said, “only I’m not strong enough. You see, a minute goes by so fearfully quick. You might as well try to stop a Bandersnatch!”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
