Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or risen:

    Spirit, spirit of gentleness,
    blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
    Spirit, spirit of restlessness,
    stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.
    James K. Manley (20th century)

    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)
