Famous quotes containing the words century and/or rain:

    “When her husband clutches at her dress,
    she lowers her face,
    her modesty aroused.
    When he wants a wild embrace,
    she shyly secrets away
    her limbs.
    She can’t say a word
    and bestows her gaze
    on her beaming friends.
    A new wife suffers
    with shame
    the first time she makes love.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “The rain to the wind said,
    “You push and I’ll pelt.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
