"Tis bitter cold and I am sick at heart"
Hamlet I i
"The water-plug being left in solitude, its overflowings sullenly congealed, and turned to misanthropic ice."
A Christmas Carol
"The ground is sonorous, like seasoned wood, and even the ordinary rural sounds are melodious, and the jingling of the ice on the trees is sweet and liquid. The withdrawn and tense sky seems groined like the aisles of a cathedral, and the polished air sparkles as if there were crystals of ice floating in it....Every sound is fraught with the same mysterious assurance of health."
H. D. Thoreau 'A Winters Walk'

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 Georgina Rossetti (1830-94). Published posthumously in her Poetical Works (1904)

A few light taps upon the pane made him turn to the window. It had begun to snow again. He watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. The time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
--James Joyce The Dead |

"Out out damn spot" and "Get thee to a nunnery!"
Call me crazy, but these quotes are frozen in my mind.
