Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or power:
“The wind flapped loose, the wind was still,
Shaken out dead from tree and hill:
I had walked on at the wind’s will,—
I sat now, for the wind was still.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
“He had come down, He said, to clean the earth
Of the dirtiness of war.
Now tell of why His power failed Him there?
His power did not fail. It was that, simply,
He found how much the people wanted war.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
