Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    I know my lazy, leaden twang
    Is like the reason in a storm;
    And yet it brings the storm to bear.
    I twang it out and leave it there.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Row after row with strict impunity
    The headstones yield their names to the element,
    The wind whirrs without recollection....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
