Cold Sun

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or sun:

    My friend’s cold made-up face, granite among its flowers,
    Her undressed, operated-on, dressed body
    Were my face and body.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    You ask if there is no doctrine of sorrow in my philosophy. Of acute sorrow I suppose that I know comparatively little. My saddest and most genuine sorrows are apt to be but transient regrets. The place of sorrow is supplied, perchance, by a certain hard and proportionately barren indifference. I am of kin to the sod, and partake of its dull patience,—in winter expecting the sun of spring.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
