When Faulkner states that "the past is a huge meadow which no winter ever quite touches", he uses two very important literary resources.

The first of it is the symbolism when he says that the past is a meadow. In real life, the past, which is intangible, could never be a meadow. First of all, because a meadow is tangible, and then because the past is a stage in our lives, while a meadow is a geographic feature.

The second literary resource is personalisation. He uses it when he infers that winter has the ability of touching things or people. In this case he specifies that it can't touch the past, with which he implies that winter has such human ability.

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was a fine dry night; frost in the air; the streets as clean as a ballroom floor; the lamps, unshaken by any wind, drawing a regular pattern of light and shadow. By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. Which detail from the excerpt best establishes the gothic setting?By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. I would say this latter sentence due to the solitary street and the low growl of London and very silent sets a scene of loneliness, silence and the lateness of the night, suggesting a gothic setting.
