Flakes

Famous quotes containing the word flakes:

“There are as many pillows of illusion as flakes in a snow- storm. We wake from one dream into another dream.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.

Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
And I told of the good All-father
Who cares for us here below.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“Some flakes have lost their way, and grope back upward, when
Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
