Famous quotes containing the word weather:
“When the weather suits you not,
Try smiling;

Try smiling;”

One believes is what matters. Ecstatic identities
Between one’s self and the weather and the things
Of the weather are the belief in one’s element,
The casual reunions, the long-pondered
Surrenders, the repeated sayings that
There is nothing more and that it is enough....”

A giant absence mopes upon the trees:”
