Blown

Famous quotes containing the word blown:

    So the gentle poet’s name
    To foreign parts is blown by fame;
    Seek him in his native town,
    He is hidden and unknown.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I, too, await
    The hour of thy great wind of love and hate.
    When shall the stars be blown about the sky,
    Like the sparks blown out of a smithy, and die?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Everything is being blown away;
    A little horse trots with a letter in its mouth, which is read with eagerness
    As we gallop into the flame.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
