Perpetual Snow

Famous quotes containing the words perpetual and/or snow:

“This perpetual round of constrained civilities to persons quite indifferent to us, is the most provoking and tiresome thing in the world, but it is unavoidable in a country town, where everybody is known.... ‘Tis a most shocking and unworthy way of spending our precious irrecoverable time, to those who know not its value.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)

“And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!”
