Famous quotes containing the word blown:
“The night has been unruly. Where we lay,
Our chimneys were blown down, and, as they say,
Lamentings heard i th air, strange screams of death,
And prophesying with accents terrible
Of dire combustion and confused events,
New-hatched to the woeful time.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)

To foreign parts is blown by fame;
Seek him in his native town,
He is hidden and unknown.”
