Gloom/weather

Famous quotes containing the words gloom and/or weather:

“A little way within the gloom a roebuck raised his eyes
Brimful of starlight, and he said: The Stamper of the Skies,
He is a gentle roebuck; for how else, I pray, could He
Conceive a thing so sad and soft, a gentle thing like me?”

And so do I;
When showers betumble the chestnut spikes,
And nestlings fly:”
