Intense Tropical Cyclone

Famous quotes containing the words intense and/or tropical:

    In vision, they speak
    with another race,
    more beautiful, more intense than this.
    I could laugh
    more beautiful, more intense?
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Physical force has no value, where there is nothing else. Snow in snow-banks, fire in volcanoes and solfataras is cheap. The luxury of ice is in tropical countries, and midsummer days. The luxury of fire is, to have a little on our hearth; and of electricity, not the volleys of the charged cloud, but the manageable stream on the battery-wires. So of spirit, or energy; the rests or remains of it in the civil and moral man, are worth all the cannibals in the Pacific.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
