Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:
“Once more the storm is howling, and half hid
Under this cradle-hood and coverlid
My child sleeps on.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“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)
