Flakes

Famous quotes containing the word flakes:

    I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
    Where a little headstone stood;
    How the flakes were folding it gently,
    As did robins the babes in the wood.

    Up spoke our own little Mabel,
    Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
    And I told of the good All-father
    Who cares for us here below.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    Abba, dark death is the breaking of a glass.
    The dazzled flakes and splinters disappear.
    The seal is as relaxed as dirt, perdu.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Some flakes have lost their way, and grope back upward, when
    Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
