Clouds

Famous quotes containing the word clouds:

    Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day,
    And make me travel forth without my cloak,
    To let base clouds o’ertake me in my way,
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My mother, who hates thunderstorms,
    Holds up each summer day and shakes
    It out suspiciously, lest swarms
    Of grape-dark clouds are lurking there....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    These are the clouds about the fallen sun,
    The majesty that shuts his burning eye:
    The weak lay hand on what the strong has done,
    Till that be tumbled that was lifted high
    And discord follow upon unison....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
