Blown

Famous quotes containing the word blown:

    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)

    They change, and we, who pass like foam,
    Like dust blown through the streets of Rome,
    Change ever, too; we have no home,
    John Masefield (1878–1967)

    Wonderful “Force of Public Opinion!” We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realise the sum of money, the degree of “influence” it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
