“Frankly, the trouble with winter is, it is all backbone. It is fleshless, insensate, with neither a breast to be leaned on nor a heart to love and ache and, if need be, break, nor any kindly hand to fondle and caress like a sea-wave on a sunny shore half asleep.” IfsNeedsHeartHandsHalfBreakTroubleSeaWinterWaveBreastsShoreAcheSunnyBackboneCaress Author:William Alfred Quayle
“But Shakespeare knows what the sphinx thinks, if anybody does. His genius is penetrative as cold midwinter entering every room, and making warmth shiver in ague fits. I think Shakespeare never errs in his logical sequence in character. He surprises us, seems unnatural to us, but because we have been superficial observers; while genius will disclose those truths to which we are blind.” IfsThinkingKnowsDoeHas BeensCharacterSeemsRoomsColdGeniusFitBlindSurpriseLogicalWarmthSuperficialEnteringObserversSequenceUnnaturalShiverSphinxMidwinter Book:A Hero and Some Other Folks Source: A Hero and Some Other Folks
