Famous quotes containing the words sparkling, ice and/or wine:

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”
—Matthew Arnold (18221888)

the shattering
of glass and the cracking
of bone
a polar tumult as when
black ice booms....”
