Altitude Wind Power

Famous quotes containing the words altitude, wind and/or power:

    On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its “great intellects.”

    A wind is ruffling the tawny pelt
    Of Africa. Kikuyu, quick as flies,
    Batten upon the bloodstreams of the veldt.
    Derek Walcott (b. 1930)

    Speak, nameless, power and might;
    when will you leave me quite?
    when will you break my wings
    or leave them utterly free
    to scale heaven endlessly?
