Flakes

Famous quotes containing the word flakes:

“When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town;”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

“There are as many pillows of illusion as flakes in a snow- storm. We wake from one dream into another dream.”

Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.”
