Famous quotes containing the words sparkling, ice and/or wine:
“O born in days when wits were fresh and clear,
And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames;
Before this strange disease of modern life,
With its sick hurry, its divided aims,
Its head oertaxed, its palsied hearts, was rife”

—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
