Famous quotes containing the words cold, boot and/or attack:

    Of how he loved high laughter and the lonely
    Heart, and cursed a dissipated rime
    Of weariness in a golden morning, only
    To rouse a cold Helen where the dawn distils
    Her bewildered beauty on feet-forgotten hills.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The best quality tea must have creases like the leathern boot of Tartar horsemen, curl like the dewlap of a mighty bullock, unfold like a mist rising out of a ravine, gleam like a lake touched by a zephyr, and be wet and soft like a fine earth newly swept by rain.
    Lu Yu (d. 804)

    And whether it is Thursday, or the day is stormy,
    With thunder and rain, or the birds attack each other,
    We have rolled into another dream.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
