Famous quotes containing the words sparkling, ice and/or wine:
“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs,
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers eyes,
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Along the Paris streets, the death-carts rumble, hollow and harsh. Six tumbrils carry the days wine to La Guillotine.”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
