Faced Storm Petrel

Famous quotes containing the words faced, storm and/or petrel:

    Pompeius, best of all my comrades, you and I
    Often faced death when we were rebels.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

    Beneath the azure current floweth;
    Above, the golden sunlight glows.
    Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
    As if the storms could give repose.
    Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841)

    Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
    The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
    Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
