Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or winter:
“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious by this son of York;
And all the clouds that loured upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
