Quotations

1905
Kipling came to Canada in winter and visited Quebec City when the snow was piled high. He has ever since called this country "Our Lady of the Snows."
1918
The majority--whether Briton, Frank or Celt--accept this dictum and make obeisance to the inexorable law: wherefore, the sons of "Our Lady of the Snows" cheerfully caught hold and lifted with their cousins.
