Famous quotes containing the word winters:

    Far out of sight forever stands the sea,
    Bounding the land with pale tranquillity.
    —Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    The passion to condense from book to book
    Unbroken wisdom in a single look,
    Though we know well that when this fix the head,
    The mind’s immortal, but the man is dead.
    —Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    And one rose in a tent of sea and gave
    A darkening shudder; water fell away;
    The whale stood shining, and then sank in spray.
    —Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
