Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or core:
“If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winters cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
