Perpetual Snow

Famous quotes containing the words perpetual and/or snow:

“Sickness disgusts us with death, and we wish to get well, which is a way of wishing to live. But weakness and suffering, with manifold bodily woes, soon discourage the invalid from trying to regain ground: he tires of those respites which are but snares, of that faltering strength, those ardors cut short, and that perpetual lying in wait for the next attack.”
—Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)

“These be
Three silent things:
The falling snow ... the hour
Before the dawn ... the mouth of one
Just dead.”
—Adelaide Crapsey (1878–1914)
