Desert Storm

Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or storm:

“We black men seem the sole oasis of simple faith and reverence in a dusty desert of dollars and smartness.”

“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)
