Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or quarters:

    “The winter is made and you have to bear it,
    The winter web, the winter woven, wind and wind,
    For all the thoughts of summer that go with it
    In the mind, pupa of straw, moppet of rags....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “He stood, and heard the steeple
    Sprinkle the quarters on the morning town.
    One, two, three, four, to market-place and people
    It tossed them down.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
