Frosty but kindly. — William Shakespeare · 1616Winter, which being full of care
Makes summer's welcome, thrice more wished, more rare. — William Shakespeare · 1609Christina Rossetti1 quote

Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;

Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter,
Long ago. — Christina Rossetti · 1875Emily Dickinson1 quote
