Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “Once more the storm is howling, and half hid
    Under this cradle-hood and coverlid
    My child sleeps on.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
    Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.
    Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
    And left the vivid air signed with their honour.”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
