Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:
“Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
declining,
Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
convulsive,
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“At present our only true names are nicknames.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
