Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “When the storm rattles my windowpane
    I’ll stay hunched at my desk, it will roar in vain
    For I’ll have plunged deep inside the thrill
    Of conjuring spring with the force of my will,
    Coaxing the sun from my heart, and building here
    Out of my fiery thoughts, a tepid atmosphere.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

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