Blowing

Famous quotes containing the word blowing:

    The wind of change is blowing through the continent. Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact.
    Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)

    The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare,
    For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air;
    Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood;
    But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood
    Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Hope, politeness, the blowing of a nose, the squeak of a boot, all produce “boum.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
