Famous quotes containing the word blew:
“The prairies were dust. Day after day, summer after summer, the scorching winds blew the dust and the sun was brassy in a yellow sky. Crop after crop failed. Again and again the barren land must be mortgaged for taxes and food and next year’s seed. The agony of hope ended when there was not harvest and no more credit, no money to pay interest and taxes; the banker took the land. Then the bank failed.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
“The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 7:25.
“Just girt me for the onset with Eternity,
When breath blew back,
And on the other side
I heard recede the disappointed tide!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
