Cold Hardy

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or hardy:

    “Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
    In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
    An ancestor was rector there
    Long years ago, a church stands near,
    By the road an ancient cross.
    No marble, no conventional phrase;
    On limestone quarried near the spot
    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman pass by!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “This is the weather the shepherd shuns,
    And so do I;
    When beeches drip in browns and duns,
    And thresh, and ply;”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
