The day broke grey and dull. The clouds hung heavily, and there was a rawness in the air that suggested snow. A woman servant came into a room in which a child was sleeping and drew the curtains. She glanced mechanically at the house opposite, a stucco house with a portico, and went to the child's bed.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
The figures of the past go cloaked. They walk in mist and rain and snow And go, go slowly, but they go.
Wallace Stevens
Image
It is the sea that whitens the roof. The sea drifts through the winter air. It is the sea that the north wind makes. The sea is in the falling snow.
Wallace Stevens
Image
People ought to like poetry the way a child likes snow & they would if poets wrote it.
Wallace Stevens

What is the world, O soldiers? It is I, I, this incessant snow, This northern sky.

Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai 'Ngaje Ngai', the House of God. Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.
Ernest Hemingway

From my experience, not one in twenty marries the first love we build statues of snow and weep to see them melt.
Walter Scott
Image
My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind...and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That's why I read so much Jon Snow.
George R. R. Martin
Image
No man would ever use both hands to hold a cup of tea, unless he was one day's march from the South Pole, with one chum dead in the snow, dogs all eaten and six fingers about to drop off. And even then he would look around the empty tent to check, in case anybody thought it was girly.

Rain is disagreeable, but snow is as much part of the mountain as are sunshine and clear skies.
Gaston Rebuffat
Image
The snow, the wind, the sun and the sounds of nature, can all be reminders to you that you're an integral part of the natural world.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Time is a snow globe you shake it and everything changes.
Alison Pick

Snow is the only one of us that leaves no tracks.
Kenneth Patchen

I can't just go up to people standing in the snow at the German-Austrian border and ask them: Are you an Islamist? When people flee to us from war zones, we first have to help. But we also have to be quick to look very closely at who it is that is coming.
Alice Schwarzer

The sentence 'snow is white' is true if, and only if, snow is white.
Alfred Tarski

My picture, Fifth Avenue, Winter is the result of a three hours' stand during a fierce snow-storm on February 22nd 1893, awaiting the proper moment. My patience was duly rewarded. Of course, the result contained an element of chance, as I might have stood there for hours without succeeding in getting the desired pictures.
Alfred Stieglitz

I've never heard of that anthology [Vance Randolph, Pissing in the Snow], but you can be sure I'll buy it now.
Donald Ray Pollock
Image
I must be dead for there is nothing but blue snow and the furious silence of a gunshot.
Will Christopher Baer
Image
Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
I am going a long way With these thou seëst-if indeed I go (For all my mind is clouded with a doubt)- To the island-valley of Avilion, Where falls not hail or rain or any snow, Nor ever wind blows loudly but it lies Deep-meadow'd, happy, fair with orchard lawns And bowery hollows crown'd with summer sea, Where I will heal me of my grievous wound.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
So, timely you came, and well you chose, You came when most needed, my winter rose. From the snow I pluck you, and fondly press Your leaves 'twixt the leaves of my leaflessness.
Alfred Austin
Image
I know people. Most have no earthly notion of the price of a snow-white conscience.
Barbara Kingsolver
Image
The discovery of a grey hair when you are brushing out your whiskers of a morning - first fallen flake of the coming snows of age - is a disagreeable thing.
