Arctic East Summer

Famous quotes containing the words arctic, east and/or summer:

    “Does the first wild-goose care
    whether the others follow or not?
    I don’t think so he is so happy to be off
    he knows where he is going
    so we must be drawn or we must fly,
    like the snow-geese of the Arctic circle.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “The East Wind, an interloper in the dominions of Westerly Weather, is an impassive-faced tyrant with a sharp poniard held behind his back for a treacherous stab.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “What is green? The grass is green,
    With small flowers between.
    What is violet? Clouds are violet
    In the summer twilight.
    What is orange? Why, an orange,
    Just an orange!”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
