Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or power:

    A wind is ruffling the tawny pelt
    Of Africa. Kikuyu, quick as flies,
    Batten upon the bloodstreams of the veldt.
    Derek Walcott (b. 1930)

    The power of this experience [fatherhood] can never be explained. It is one of those joyful codings that rumbles in the species far below understanding. When it is experienced it makes you one with all men in a way that fills you with warmth and harmony.
    Kent Nerburn (20th century)
