Peak Winds

Famous quotes containing the words peak and/or winds:

    Sleep shall neither night nor day
    Hang upon his penthouse lid;
    He shall live a man forbid;
    Weary sev’n-nights, nine times nine,
    Shall he dwindle, peak and pine;
    Though his bark cannot be lost,
    Yet it shall be tempest-tossed.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Since I was not bewitched in adolescence
    And brought to love,
    I will attend to the trees and their gracious silence,
    To winds that move.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
