Famous quotes containing the words severe and/or weather:

    “One should not be too severe on English novels; they are the only relaxation of the intellectually unemployed.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
