Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or queen:

    These are the small townsmen of death,
    A man and a woman, like two leaves
    That keep clinging to a tree,
    Before winter freezes and grows black....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.
