Literary analysis:
In literature, the color "frost" is often used to evoke a sense of pallid beauty and quiet desolation—a hue that is simultaneously delicate and chilling. For instance, some authors describe frost in explicitly visual terms, such as in [1], where “the white frost lay on the grass and the fences,” conjuring an image of nature draped in a silvery, almost ethereal light. In another evocative passage, [2] states that “the frost was white as death,” using stark whiteness to signal both the beauty and the eerie stillness of a winter scene. Meanwhile, frost is metaphorically employed to underscore emotional or physical paleness: in [3] a face “full of frost” suggests a wintry pallor that communicates both vulnerability and a loss of warmth, and in [4] frost is said to have “banished the roses” from pale cheeks, implying the stripping away of vitality. Through these varied images, the color "frost" in literature becomes a powerful device for conveying transformation, melancholy, and the subtle interplay between life’s warmth and the inevitability of cold decay.
  1. The white frost lay on the grass and the fences, and the north-wind was chilly, as the boys drove on.
    — from Arthur Hamilton, and His Dog by Anonymous
  2. The frost was white as death, and in the wood Shattered the aching aisles of solitude.
    — from England over Seas by Lloyd Roberts
  3. —A February face, so full of frost, of storms, and cloudiness.—
    — from Pearls of Thought by Maturin Murray Ballou
  4. Foul was now that hair, more beauteous erstwhile than gold; night had dimmed the fire of her eyes and frost banished the roses from her pale cheeks.
    — from Claudian, volume 2 (of 2) With an English translation by Maurice Platnauer by Claudius Claudianus
