Cold Air

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or air:

    Willows last to relinquish a leaf,
    curious, patient, lion-headed, tense
    with energy, watching
    the serene cold through a curtain
    of tarnished strands.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and literature looks like word-catching. The simplest utterances are worthiest to be written, yet are they so cheap, and so things of course, that, in the infinite riches of the soul, it is like gathering a few pebbles off the ground, or bottling a little air in a phial, when the whole earth and the whole atmosphere are ours.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
