~ Pure as the Driven Snow ~

Pure as the driven snow............................................................................

The complete phrase 'as pure as the driven snow' doesn't appear in Shakespeare's writing, but it almost does, and he used snow as a symbol for purity and whiteness in several plays. In The Winter's Tale, 1611:

Autolycus: Lawn as white as driven snow.

 

As pure as the driven snow In Macbeth, 1605:

Malcolm: Black Macbeth will seem as pure as snow.

 

 

Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend!
