Storm Floods

Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or floods:

    “I care not what the sailors say:
    All those dreadful thunder-stones,
    All that storm that blots the day
    Can but show that Heaven yawns;
    Great Europa played the fool
    That changed a lover for a bull.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Poor verdant fool, and now green ice! thy joys,
    Large and as lasting as thy perch of grass,
    Bid us lay in ‘gainst winter rain, and poise
    Their floods with an o’erflowing glass.”
    —Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)
