Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or quarters:

    “And now the winter sea:
    Within her hollow rind
    What sleek facility
    Of sea-conceited scop
    To plumb the nether mind!”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
