Sands Wind

Famous quotes containing the words sands and/or wind:

    The sands are frantic
    In the hourglass. But there is time
    To change, to utterly destroy
    That too-familiar image
    Lurking in the glass
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    There is a time for building
    And a time for living and for generation
    And a time for the wind to break the loosened pane
    And to shake the wainscot where the field-mouse trots
    And to shake the tattered arras woven with a silent motto.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
