Freezing Works

Famous quotes containing the words freezing and/or works:

    . . . 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)

    We thus worked our way up this river, gradually adjusting our thoughts to novelties, beholding from its placid bosom a new nature and new works of men, and, as it were with increasing confidence, finding nature still habitable, genial, and propitious to us; not following any beaten path, but the windings of the river, as ever the nearest way for us. Fortunately, we had no business in this country.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
