Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “The storm is over, the land hushes to rest:
    The tyrannous wind, its strength fordone,
    Is fallen back in the west”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    “I come to this land to ride my horse,
    to try my own guitar, to copy out
    their two separate names like sunflowers, to conjure
    up my daily bread, to endure,
    somehow to endure.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
