Famous quotes containing the words tropical and/or storm:

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

    I cannot think this creature died
    By storm or fish or sea-fowl harmed
    Walking the sea so heavily armed;
    Or does it make for death to be
    Oneself a living armoury?
    Andrew Young (1885–1971)
