Famous quotes containing the words snow, hill and/or road:
“Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated,”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.””
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift.
The road is forlorn all day....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
