Blowing

Famous quotes containing the word blowing:

    “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)

    “But the word Miracle, as pronounced by Christian churches, gives a false impression; it is Monster. It is not one with the blowing clover and falling rain.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Where has Maid Quiet gone to,
    Nodding her russet hood?
    The winds that awakened the stars
    Are blowing through my blood.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
