Blows

Famous quotes containing the word blows:

“Who blows death’s feather? What glory is colour?
I blow the stammel feather in the vein.
The loin is glory in a working pallor.
My clay unsuckled and my salt unborn,
The secret child, I shift about the sea
Dry in the half-tracked thigh.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“Whatever tears one may shed, in the end one always blows one’s nose.”
—Heinrich Heine (1797–1856)

“In short, as a snow-drift is formed where there is a lull in the wind, so, one would say, where there is a lull of truth, an institution springs up. But the truth blows right on over it, nevertheless, and at length blows it down.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
