Faced Storm Petrel

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

    All night I’ve held your hand,
    as if you had
    a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
    its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
    and dragged me home alive. . . .
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    Why now, blow wind, swell billow, and swim bark!
    The storm is up, and all is on the hazard.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
