Winter is a terrible time for thin people - terrible! why should it hound them down, fasten on them, worry them so? why not, for a change, take a nip, take a snap at the fat ones who wouldn't notice? but no! it is sleek, warm, cat-like summer that makes the fat one's life a misery. winter is all for bones.

Winter Is A Terrible Time For Thin

Katherine Mansfield
Winter is a terrible time for thin people - terrible! why should it hound them down, fasten on them, worry them so? why not, for a change, take a nip, take a snap at the fat ones who wouldn't notice? but no! it is sleek, warm, cat-like summer that makes the fat one's life a misery. winter is all for bones.

More From Katherine Mansfield

Oh cat, i'd say, or pray: be-ootiful cat! delicious cat! exquisite cat! satiny cat! cat like a soft owl, cat with paws like moths, jewelled cat, miraculous cat! cat, cat, cat, cat.
Cat Owl Paws
I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.
Beautiful Smart Stupid
A hound it was, an enormous coal-black hound, but not such a hound as mortal eyes have ever seen. fire burst from its open mouth, its eyes glowed with a smouldering glare, its muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame. never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that dark form and savage face which broke upon us out of the wall of fog.
Dream Wall Eye
You have no control over your cat! you can't say to your cat, "cat, heel! stay! wait! lie down! roll over!" 'cause the cat's just gonna be sitting there going, "interesting words ... have you finished?" while you're shouting all this to your cat, your dog's next to you, going ... [mimes obeying all commands] "what the hell are you doing? i'm talking to the cat!" "oh, i'm sorry!"
Dog Sorry Lying
It is not the high summer alone that is god's. the winter also is his. and into his winter he came to visit us. and all man's winters are his - the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of our unhappiness - even 'the winter of our discontent.
Summer Winter Men
All i want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air. with one enormous chair; oh wouldn't it be loverly? lots of choc'late for me to eat; lots of coal makin' lots of heat. warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet, oh wouldn't it be loverly? oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still! i would never budge 'til spring crept over my window sill. someone's head restin' on my knee; warm and tender as he can be, who takes good care of me; oh wouldn't it be loverly? loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.

It was a lover and his lass, with a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, that o'er the green corn-field did pass, in the spring time, the only pretty ring time, when birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; sweet lovers love the spring.

Right from the start my parents had left me to fend for myself. apparently unaware that i was a kid, they invariably treated me like an adult, perhaps because they themselves were no spring chickens.

For seeing life is but a motion of limbs... why may we not say, that all automata (engines that move themselves by springs and wheels as doth a watch) have an artificial life?

You wonder why your government's completely broken? we lurch from deadline to deadline, and it's on purpose really. we do deadline to deadline because ... 'we've got to go. it's spring break, we're going to be late for spring break, and we've got to go, so we've got to finish this up before we go.'
