Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or deities:
“That rain is the best which falls steadily on the earth. A sudden and excessive downpour ruins the fields.”
—Jerome (c. 340–420)
“The gods themselves,
Humbling their deities to love, have taken
The shapes of beasts upon them. Jupiter
Became a bull, and bellowed; the green Neptune
A ram, and bleated; and the fire-robed god,
Golden Apollo, a poor humble swain.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
