Blown

Famous quotes containing the word blown:

    We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.
    Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 4:14.

    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 (1564–1616)

    I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
    A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
    Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
    That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
    A glittering sword out of the east.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
