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)
“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)
“It is only when we speak what is right that we stand a chance at night of being blown to bits in our homes. Can we call this a free country, when I am afraid to go to sleep in my own home in Mississippi?... I might not live two hours after I get back home, but I want to be a part of setting the Negro free in Mississippi.”
—Fannie Lou Hamer (1917–1977)
