Famous quotes containing the word winters:
“Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Greville, Raleigh, Donne,
Poets who wrote great poems, one by one,
And spaced by many years, each line an act
Through which few labor, which no men retract.
This passion is the scholars heritage,”

It stands beneath the feet, and one may come
Walking securely, till the sea extends
Its limber margin, and precision ends.”

A darkening shudder; water fell away;
The whale stood shining, and then sank in spray.”
