Winter Service Uniform

Famous quotes containing the words winter, service and/or uniform:

    “See, Winter comes, to rule the varied year,
    Sullen, and sad, with all his rising train;
    Vapours, and clouds, and storms. Be these my theme,
    These, that exalt the soul to solemn thought,
    And heavenly musing. Welcome, kindred glooms!
    Congenial horrors, hail!”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “The Service without Hope
    Is tenderest, I think—
    ...
    There is no Diligence like that
    That knows not an Until—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1831–1886)

    “Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
    The great grey rigid uniform combined
    Safety with virtue of the sun.
    Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”
    —Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
