Open Ice

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or ice:

“Rain falls into the open eyes of the dead
Again again with its pointless sound
When the moon finds them they are the color of everything”

“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
