Cold

Famous quotes containing the word cold:

“My friend’s cold made-up face, granite among its flowers,
Her undressed, operated-on, dressed body
Were my face and body.”

“First, the cold friction of expiring sense
Without enchantment, offering no promise
But bitter tastelessness of shadow fruit
As body and soul begin to fall asunder.
Second, the conscious impotence of rage
At human folly,”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“Away went the messenger’s bicycle,
His serpent’s track went up the hill forever.
And all the time she stood there hot as fever
And cold as any icicle.”
