Winter Average

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or average:

    Those craning birds are choice for you, songs that jump back
    To the built voice, or fly with winter to the bells,
    But do not travel down dumb wind like prodigals.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)
