Snow
A square-rigged vessel, differing from a brig only in that she has a trysail mast close abaft the mainmast, on which a large trysail is hoisted. Watery particles congealed into white or transparent crystals or flakes in the air, and falling to the earth, exhibiting a great variety of very beautiful and perfect forms. Fig.: Something white like snow, as the white color (argent) in heraldry; something which falls in, or as in, flakes. To fall in or as snow; -- chiefly used impersonally; as, it snows; it snowed yesterday. To scatter like snow; to cover with, or as with, snow. Related Definitions:

Snow Quotations
The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. Margaret Atwood In the wintertime, in the snow country, citrus fruit was so rare, and if you got one, it was better than ambrosia. James E. Jones As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words. William Shakespeare How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said. Victor Hugo To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow. William Faulkner |
