Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    There was never yet such a storm but it was Æolian music to a healthy and innocent ear.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Tonight there are only the winter stars.
    The sky is no longer a junk-shop,
    Full of javelins and old fire-balls,
    Triangles and the names of girls.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
