Famous quotes containing the word flakes:

In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town;”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

“Night sank: like flakes of silver fire
The stars in one great shower came down;”
—John Davidson (1857–1909)
