Lightning Strike

Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or strike:

    The good, supreme, divine poetry is above the rules and reason. Whoever discerns its beauty with a firm, sedate gaze does not see it, any more than he sees the splendor of a lightning flash. It does not persuade our judgement, it ravishes and overwhelms it.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Too long we prayed
    God in the thunder,
    wonderful though he be
    and our father;
    too long, too long in the rain,
    cowering lest he strike again.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
