Famous quotes containing the words sparkling, ice and/or wine:
“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs,
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers eyes,
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.”

“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“He neither shall be christened
In white wine or red,
But with fair spring water,
With which we were christenèd.”
—Unknown. As Joseph Was a-Walking (l. 1720)
