Tropical Storm Hope

Famous quotes containing the words tropical, storm and/or hope:

    Oh, you’ll love the sea. There’s something about it. The hot red dawn, the towering sails, the wake on a tropical night. Oh, you’ll love it all. It’s a glorious kind of world. I couldn’t live without it.
    —Charles Larkworthy. Denison Clift. Capt. Benjamin Briggs (Arthur Margetson)

    Think of the storm roaming the sky uneasily
    like a dog looking for a place to sleep in,
    listen to it growling.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    Don’t crouch any more and cling to my knees,
    don’t tempt me and try me,
    don’t beg like a child and cry,
    “you have taken my hope away.”
    I am not a god.
    I cannot make you happy.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
