Snow Parson

Famous quotes containing the words snow and/or parson:

“And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“He gathers all the parish there;
Points out the place of either yew,
Here Baucis, there Philemon, grew.
Till once a parson of our town,
To mend his barn, cut Baucis down;
At which, ‘tis hard to be believed
How much the other tree was grieved,
Grew scrubby, died a-top, was stunted:
So the next parson stubbed and burnt it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
