Famous quotes containing the word winter:
“O Time and Change!with hair as gray
As was my sires that winter day,
How strange it seems, with so much gone
Of life and love, to still live on!
Ah, brother! only I and thou
Are left of all that circle now,
The dear home faces whereupon
That fitful firelight paled and shone.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (18071892)
