SNOW QUOTES

Snow pursued by the wind is not wholly unlike a retreating army. In the open field it ranges itself in ranks and battalions; where it can get a foothold it makes a stand; where it can take cover it does so. You may see whole platoons of snow cowering behind a bit of broken wall.

AMBROSE BIERCE, "The Night-Doings at Deadman's"

But pleasures are like poppies spread--

You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;

Or like the snow falls in the river--

A moment white -- then melts for ever.
