Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    Think of the storm roaming the sky uneasily
    like a dog looking for a place to sleep in,
    listen to it growling.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
