Storm Drains

Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or drains:

“Once more the storm is howling, and half hid
Under this cradle-hood and coverlid
My child sleeps on.”

But I reflect—which women seldom do.
Tobacco is a filthy weed,
That from the devil doth proceed;
That drains your purse, that burns your clothes,
That makes a chimney of your nose.”
