Cold

Famous quotes containing the word cold:

“The wonderful scope and variety of female loveliness, if too long suffered to sway us without decision, shall finally confound all power of selection. The confirmed bachelor is, in America, at least, quite as often the victim of a too profound appreciation of the infinite charmingness of woman, as made solitary for life by the legitimate empire of a cold and tasteless temperament.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Our [British] summers are often, though beautiful for verdure, so cold, that they are rather cold winters.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“Then with the careless energy
Of a dream, the forward curse
Of a cold particular eye
In the headlong hearse.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
