Weather Balloons

Famous quotes containing the words weather and/or balloons:

    To recover a buried treasure without having it disappear miraculously in the process, one must be entitled to it, and also be willing—really willing deep in his heart—to share it with the poor and helpless. Buried money, especially silver, gives off a bright glow which comes right up through the earth and can be seen as a dim light on nights when the weather is misty or there is a gentle rain.
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Canaries in the morning, orchestras
    In the afternoon, balloons at night. That is
    A difference, at least from nightingales,
    Jehovah and the great sea-worm.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
