Famous quotes containing the words gabriel and/or rains:

    The rose and poppy are her flowers; for where
    Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent
    And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?
    Lo! as that youth’s eyes burned at thine, so went
    Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
    And round his heart one strangling golden hair.
    —Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    Paris is a hard place to leave, even when it rains incessantly and one coughs continually from the dampness.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)
