Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or power:

    “Sombre and rich, the skies;
    Great glooms, and starry plains.
    Gently the night wind sighs;
    Else a vast silence reigns.”
    —Lionel Pigot Johnson (1867–1902)

    “Generally speaking, the political news, whether domestic or foreign, might be written today for the next ten years with sufficient accuracy. Most revolutions in society have not power to interest, still less alarm us; but tell me that our rivers are drying up, or the genus pine dying out in the country, and I might attend.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
