Famous quotes containing the words russell and/or thaw:

    No man is born into the world, whose work
    Is not born with him; there is always work,
    And tools to work withal, for those who will:
    And blessèd are the horny hands of toil!
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    So unrecorded did it slip away,
    So blind was I to see and to foresee,
    So dull to mark the budding of my tree
    That would not blossom yet for many a May.
    If only I could recollect it, such
    A day of days! I let it come and go
    As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
    It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
    If only now I could recall that touch,
    First touch of hand in hand—Did one but know!
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
