Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or quarters:

    “I walked abroad in a snowy day;
    I asked the soft snow with me to play;

    And the winter called it a dreadful crime.”

    Sprinkle the quarters on the morning town.
    One, two, three, four, to market-place and people
    It tossed them down.”
