Andrew Wyeth

Winter is nature’s way of saying “Up yours.”

In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.
Christina Rossetti

Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen.
Willa Cather

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.
William Bradford

Blow, blow, thou winter wind! Thou art not so unkind as man’s ingratitude.
William Shakespeare

One kind word can warm three winter months.
Japanese proverb

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.
John Burroughs

When you live in Texas, every single time you see snow it’s magical.
Pamela Ribon

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.
Robert Bloomfield

Spring, summer, and fall fill us with hope; winter alone reminds us of the human condition.
Mignon McLaughlin

Winter either bites with its teeth or lashes with its tail.
Traditional Proverb

The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination.
Terri Guillemets

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
William Blake

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.
Edith Sitwell

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.

The frost performs its secret ministry, Unhelped by any wind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

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.
William Cullen Bryant

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.
William Henry Burleigh

It snowed and snowed, the whole world over, Snow swept the world from end to end. A candle burned on the table; A candle burned.
Boris Pasternak
