Drifting Ice

Famous quotes containing the words drifting and/or ice:

    It comes about that the drifting of these curtains
    Is full of long motions; as the ponderous
    Deflations of distance; or as clouds
    Inseparable from their afternoons....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    ‘Line in nature is not found;
    Unit and universe are round;
    In vain produced, all rays return;
    Evil will bless, and ice will burn.’
    As Uriel spoke with piercing eye,
    A shudder ran around the sky;
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
