Crusted Mud

Famous quotes containing the words crusted and/or mud:

“One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“To-night, His frost will fasten on this mud and us,
Shriveling many hands, puckering foreheads crisp.
The burying-party, picks and shovels in their shaking grasp,
Pause over half-known faces. All their eyes are ice,
But nothing happens.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
