Ice Shelves

Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or shelves:

    “Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
