Letter "W" » Winter
"These Winter nights against my window-pane
Nature with busy pencil draws designs
Of ferns and blossoms and fine spray of pines,
Oak-leaf and acorn and fantastic vines,
Which she will make when summer comes again–
Quaint arabesques in argent, flat and cold,
Like curious Chinese etchings."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Winter
"O Winter! bar thine adamantine doors:
The north is thine; there hast thou build thy dark,
Deep-founded habitation. Shake not thy roofs,
Nor bend thy pillars with thine iron car."
Author: William Blake
About: Winter
"When now, unsparing as the scourge of war,
Blasts follow blasts and groves dismantled roar;
Around their home the storm-pinched cattle lows,
No nourishment in frozen pasture grows;
Yet frozen pastures every morn resound
With fair abundance thund'ring to the ground."
Author: Robert Bloomfield
About: Winter
"And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters
of that country know them to be sharp and violent, and subject to
cruel and fierce storms. . . . For summer being done, all things
stand upon them with a weather-beaten face, and the whole
country, full of woods and thickets, represented a wild and
savage hue."
Author: William Bradford
About: Winter
"Look! the massy trunks
Are cased in the pure crystal; each light spray,
Nodding and tinkling in the breath of heaven,
Is studded with its trembling water-drops,
That glimmer with an amethystine light."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: Winter
"Yet all how beautiful! Pillars of pearl
Propping the cliffs above, stalactites bright
From the ice roof depending; and beneath,
Grottoes and temples with their crystal spires
And gleaming columns radiant in the sun."
Author: William Henry Burleigh
About: Winter
"The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in
winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the
bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood."
Author: John Burroughs
About: Winter
"Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale
and shabby, old and sullen."
Author: Willa Sibert Cather
About: Winter
"Over the river and through the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh,
Through the white and drifted snow."
Author: Mrs. Lydia Maria Child
About: Winter
"The frost performs its secret ministry,
Unhelped by any wind."
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge
