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 cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
