Tropical Storm Force

Famous quotes containing the words tropical, storm and/or force:

    We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    As the bird trims her to the gale,
    I trim myself to the storm of time,
    I man the rudder, reef the sail,
    Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
    “Lowly faithful, banish fear,
    Right onward drive unharmed;
    The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
    And every wave is charmed.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Rhyme and meter force gaps in meaning so the muse can enter.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
