Rare Winter Visitor

Famous quotes containing the words rare, winter and/or visitor:

    “And what is so rare as a day in June?
    Then, if ever, come perfect days;
    Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
    And over it softly her warm ear lays:
    Whether we look, or whether we listen,
    We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “The winter is to a woman of fashion what, of yore, a campaign was to the soldiers of the Empire.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “Beauty is ever to the lonely mind
    A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.
    She is a visitor who leaves behind
    The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.”
    —Robert Nathan (1894–1985)
