Melting Snow

Famous quotes containing the words melting snow, melting and/or snow:

    “Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
    Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
    List to the heavy part the music bears,
    “Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
    Droop herbs and flowers;
    Fall grief in showers;
    “Our beauties are not ours”:
    Oh, I could still,
    Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
    Drop, drop, drop, drop,
    Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “He hath a tear for pity, and a hand
    Open as day for melting charity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed
    The speculating rooks at their nests cawed”
    —Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
