The Snow Goose-A Story of Dunkirk Quotes Unforgettable Moments

Before starting to read quotes it is better to give some information about the book and film. 

If you  haven't read The Snow Goose yet ...What Are You Waiting For?

I wish this book come to life on screen again maybe Netflix, Amazon or other companies take into consideration to realize as movie or tv series.

The Snow Goose: A Story of Dunkirk is a novella by the American author Paul Gallico. It was first published in 1940 as a short story in The Saturday Evening Post, after which he expanded it to create a short novella which was published on 7 April 1941.

                                    @petefrost.wordpress.com

The Snow Goose is a simple, short written parable on the regenerative power of friendship and love, set against a backdrop of the horror of war. It documents the growth of a friendship between Philip Rhayader, an artist living a solitary life in an abandoned lighthouse in the marshlands of Essex because of his disabilities, and a young local girl, Fritha.

“The Snow Goose”  is a British television drama film starring Richard Harris and Jenny Agutter was filmed at the end of Island Lane in Kirby-le-Soken and released in 1971.

It won a Golden Globe Award for Best Television Film and  it was also nominated for a nine Primetime Emmy Awards, winning one for Jenny Agutter for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Drama. The film was shown in the United States on 15 November 1971 as part of the anthology series Hallmark Hall of Fame.[1]

The Snow Goose-A Story of Dunkirk  Quotes Unforgettable Moments

@Snow Goose, Penguin Books pg 18

Frith: The girl placed it in his arms. ' I found it, sir. It's hurted. Is it still alive?'

Rhayader: 'Yes. Yes, I think so. Come in, child, come in.'

Rhayader: 'We will call her "La Princesse Perdue," the  Lost Princess. And in a few days she will be feeling much better.'

Rhayader: 'Will you come back tomorrow, or the nezt day, to see how the Princess is getting along? '

Frith: "Look! Look! The Princess! Be she going away?"

Rhayader: "The Princess is going home. Listen! she is bidding us farewell."

"With the departure of the snow goose ended the visits of Frith to the lighthouse. Rhayader learned al over again the meaning of the word 'loneliness'. "

Rhayader: "She'll stay. She will never go away again. The Lost Princess is lost no more. This is her home now--of her own free will.”

Rhayader: "Frith! I am glad you came. Yes, I must go away. A little trip. I will come back."

Frith: "Where must ye go?"

Rhayader: "A British army was trapped there on the advancing Germans. The port was in flames, the position hopeless."

Frith: "Frith listened and felt her hearth dying within her. He was saying that he would sail the Channel in his little boat."

"The girl was young, primitive, inarticulate. She did not understand war, or what had happened in France, or the meaning of the trapped army, bu the blood within her told her that here was danger"

Frith: "Philip! Must 'ee go? You'll not come back. Why must it be 'ee?"

Rhayader: "They are lost and storm-driven and harried, like the Princesse Perdue you found and brought to me out of the marshes many years ago, and we healed her. They need help, my dear, as our wild creatures have needed help, and that is why I must go."

Frith:" Frith stared at Rhayader. He had changed so. For the first time she saw that he was no longer ugly or mis-shapen or grotesque, but very beautiful."

Frith:"Things turmoiling in her own soul, crying to be said,and she did not know how to say them."

Frith:" I'll come with 'ee! Philip."

Rhayader: "Your place in the boat would cause a soldier to be left behind, and another, and another. I must go alone."

Rhayader: "He waved and called back:"Good-bye! Will you look after the birds until I return, Frith?"

Frith:"I will take care of t' birds. God-speed, Philip."

"The picture and the things she saw in it stirred her as nothing ever had before, for much of Rhayader's soul had gone into it."

Frith:"Frith saw no longer the snow goose but the soul of Rhayader taking farewell of her before departing for ever."

Frith:"Frith's tears were stilled. She stood watching silently long after the goose  had vanished."

Frith:"Each night, for many weeks thereafter, Frith came to the lighthouse and fed the pinioned birds. Then one early morning a German pilot on a dawn raid mistook the old abandoned light for an active military objective,..."

Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on Sleep- Increased Sleep Duration and Delayed Sleep Timing

"Many studies have examined how the 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has impacted sleep health. Early evidence suggests that lockdown policies worldwide have led to changes in sleep timing, duration, and quality 1,2,3,4.; however, few studies have attempted to look at the longer-term effects across multiple countries in a large data set.

This study uses self-reported data from 64,858 users of the Sleep As Android smartphone application from around the world over a 24-month period in 2019 to 2020. We found a significant but modest increase in time in bed (TIB), as well as a significant delay in sleep timing that was especially prominent on weekdays. 

Our findings suggest that pandemic-induced changes in lifestyle, such as remote work and lockdown policies, may have facilitated later sleep timing but that these changes may diminish as restrictions are lifted.

Several studies have found decreases in sleep quality, especially in healthcare and frontline essential workers who report experiencing increased insomnia and stress 5,6,7,8,9,10,11. This effect was especially pronounced early in the pandemic among the general population as well 1,4,12,13,14,15. Indeed, we found that in the U.S., Google searches for “insomnia” increased by 58% in March through May 2020 compared to the same time frame in the previous three years 16, suggesting that sleep problems may have increased in the general population during the early months of the pandemic.

While studies have identified that some people experienced shortened sleep durations 4,8, there is ample evidence that sleep duration has increased during the pandemic for a substantial proportion of the population, especially after more countries enacted lockdown policies 2,3,17. 

In an online survey of 7,517 respondents in 40 countries between April 4th–May 6th, 2020, average sleep duration was found to increase by 26 min on work days 17. Similarly, surveys of roughly 1000 participants in Argentina 3 and Italy 18 found that average sleep duration in non-healthcare workers increased during the pandemic.

Studies across multiple countries and in different subject populations have consistently found that people shifted their sleep timing later, perhaps because of the increased prevalence of remote work and school during the lockdown 2,3,17,19. 

Studies in university students 1,2 found that sleep times were delayed by 25–50 min on average. Studies of the general population report similar delays especially on week days 4,20,21,22, suggesting that social work schedules may be better aligned with internal chronotype during the pandemic 17. 

Social jetlag, the discrepancy between people’s sleep timing on work days and free days (typically weekdays and weekends, respectively), is a well-known phenomenon 23. 

In general, people report going to bed and waking earlier on weekdays compared to weekends. During the pandemic however, multiple studies found that social jetlag decreased—in other words, differences in week day and weekend sleep timing diminished, predominantly because of a delay in week day wake times 1,2,3,17.

Global changes in sleep duration and timing between 2019 and 2020. Worldwide average time in bed

Worldwide average time in bed (a) and midpoint of sleep (b) were calculated from self-reported bedtimes (c) and waketimes (d) for each quarter in 2019 (blue) and 2020 (red). Bonferroni-adjusted p values for comparisons between each quarter of 2019 to the corresponding quarter of 2020 are indicated as follows: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Means ± SEM are shown.

Changes in sleep duration and timing between 2019 and 2020 in 20 representative countries

Self-reported time in bed from 20 countries in year 2019 and 2020. Average time in bed (TIB) was calculated from self-reported bed and wake times for each day in 2019 (blue) and 2020 (red) for each country. Bonferroni-adjusted p values comparing average TIB in each quarter of 2019 to the corresponding quarter of 2020 are indicated as follows: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Bonferroni-adjusted p values comparing overall TIB in 2019 to 2020 is indicated next to each country name as follows: †p < 0.05, ††p < 0.01, †††p < 0.001. Means ± SEM are shown.

Changes in sleep timing were more widespread, with 17 countries out of 20 showing a significant delay in MOS (p < 0.05 for all), 19 countries showing a significant delay in bedtimes (p < 0.05 for all), and 16 countries showing a significant delay in waketimes (p < 0.05 for all) in 2020 compared to 2019. Only South Korea showed no change in any of the three sleep timing measures. Additionally, Japan showed no change in MOS or waketime, and Sweden and New Zealand showed no change in waketime.

Changes in sleep duration and timing between 2019 and 2020 in the United States

Self-reported sleep duration and timing in the United States during the years 2019 and 2020. Average time in bed (a) and midpoint of sleep (b) were calculated from self-reported bedtimes (c) and waketimes (d) for each month in 2019 (blue) and 2020 (red) in the United States. Bonferroni-adjusted p values for comparisons between each month of 2019 to the corresponding month of 2020 are indicated as follows: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Means ± SEM are shown.

Waketime was significantly delayed in 2020 compared to 2019 only during the months of April and May (p = 0.006 for both), by approximately 35 min. Our results suggest that in the United States, the pandemic caused shifts primarily in the timing of sleep.
