Stormy Night

Famous quotes containing the words stormy and/or night:

    Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep—

    With phantoms an unprofitable strife.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.”
