Called Wind

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or wind:

“What is called common sense is excellent in its department, and as invaluable as the virtue of conformity in the army and navy,—for there must be subordination,—but uncommon sense, that sense which is common only to the wisest, is as much more excellent as it is more rare.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The wind attendant on the solstices
Blows on the shutters of the metropoles,
Stirring no poet in his sleep, and tolls
The trand ideas of the villages.
The malady of the quotidian. . . .”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
