Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or drake:
“It had been cold since December. Snow fell, first,
At New Year and, from then until April, lay
On everything. Now it had melted, leaving
The gray grass like a pallet, closely pressed;
And dirt. The wind blew in the empty place.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud,”
—Joseph Rodman Drake (1795–1820)
