Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or risen:

    The wind of their endurance, driving south,
    Flattened your words against your speaking mouth.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    No one would know except for ancient maps
    That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
    If from its being kept forever under,
    The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
    This new-built city from both work and sleep.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
