Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “After the brief bivouac of Sunday,
    their eyes, in the forced march of Monday to Saturday,
    hoist the white flag, flutter in the snow storm of paper,”
    —Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    “The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
    Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.
    Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
    And left the vivid air signed with their honour.”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
