But where are the snows of yester year?

Francois Villon

I will meet you on the nape of your neck one day, on the surface of intention, word becoming act. We will breathe into each other the high mountain tales, where the snows come from, where the waters begin.” -In the yellow time of pollen

Luke Davies

But where are the snows of last year? That was the greatest concern of Villon, the Parisian poet.

Francois Rabelais

All Plutophiles are based in America. If you go to other countries, they have much less of an attachment to either the existence or preservation of Pluto as a planet. Once you investigate that, you find out that Disney's dog Pluto was sketched the same year the cosmic object was discovered. And Pluto was discovered by an American.

But where are the snows of yesteryear?

Francois Villon

Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white; And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still; No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill, And willow stems grow daily red and bright. These are days when ancients held a rite Of expiation for the old year's ill, And prayer to purify the new year's will.

Helen Hunt Jackson

Rick Riordan

The snows and the roses of yesterday are vanished; And what is love but a rose that fades?

Edgar Lee Masters

Pluto's orbit is so elongated that it crosses the orbit of another planet. Now that's... you've got no business doing that if you want to call yourself a planet. Come on, now! There's something especially transgressive about that.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Tell me now in what hidden way isLady Flora the lovely Roman?Where's Hipparchia, and where is Thais,Neither of them the fairer woman?Where is Echo, beheld of no man,Only heard on river and mere-She whose beauty was more than human?-But where are the snows of yester-year?

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not theirs.

Tommy Lasorda

When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives.

George R. R. Martin

Sing hey! Sing hey! For Christmas Day; Twine mistletoe and holly. For a friendship glows In winter snows, And so let's all be jolly! At Christmas play and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year

Thomas Tusser
