Wind Chimes

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or chimes:

    “The generation of mankind is like the generation of leaves. The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the living tree burgeons with leaves again in the spring.”
    —Homer (c. 9th century B.C.)

    “It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
    That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
    Along uncertainty and gales of shame
    Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
    I dare not think alive: only a name
    That chimes occasionally, as a belief
    Long since embedded in the static past.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
