Freezing Platinum

Famous quotes containing the words freezing and/or platinum:

    . . . A widow bird sat mourning for her love
    Upon a wintry bough;
    The frozen wind crept on above,
    The freezing stream below.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Flouncing your skirts, you blueness of joy, you flirt of
    politeness,
    You leap, you intelligence, essence of wheelness with silvery nose,
    And your platinum clocks of excitement stir like the hairs of a
    fern.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
