Cold Fronts

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or fronts:

    For, brother, know that this is art, and you
    With a cold incautious sorrow stricken dumb,
    Have your own vanishing slit of light let through,
    Passionate as winter, where only a few may come:
    Not idiots in the street find out the lees
    In the last drink of dying Socrates.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    As Jerome expanded, its chances for the title, “the toughest little town in the West,” increased and when it was incorporated in 1899 the citizens were able to support the claim by pointing to the number of thick stone shutters on the fronts of all saloons, gambling halls, and other places of business for protection against gunfire.
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
