As pure as the driven snow

25. As pure as the driven snow

Tradução:  Puro como a neve imaculada

Significado:  Muito puro

Fonte: A Winter's Tale, Ato IV, cena 4

Autolycus: Lawn as white as driven snow;

Cypress black as e'ver was a crow;

Gloves as sweet as damask roses;

Masks for faces and for noses.

Autólico: Relva tão branca quanto a neve que cai;        

Cipreste tão negro quanto um corvo que vai;

Luvas tão macias quanto rosas de linho adamascado:

Máscaras para a face e para um rosto ruborizado.

Exemplo moderno: Talking Point: Cyclists ain’t pure as driven snow

This may be considered politically incorrect, but someone has to say it: not all cyclists are pure of heart, mind and action when it comes to highway courtesy and even obeying the rules of the roads.(The Mercury, 2 December 2016)
