Ice Shelves

Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or shelves:

    Sole and self-commanded works,
    Fears not undermining days,
    Grows by decays,
    And, by the famous might that lurks
    In reaction and recoil,
    Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Morning, a glass door, flashes
    Gold names off the new city,
    Whose white shelves and domes travel
    The slow sky all day.
    I land to stay here....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
