So might two climbers lost in mountain weather On a high slope and taken by the storm, Desperate in the darkness, cling together Under one cloak and breathe each other warm. Stay near me. Spirit, perishable as bone, In no such winter can survive alone. Phyllis McGinley, "Midcentury Love Letter" (courtesy of Anecdotal Evidence)
