Weather Underground/dissolution 1977

Famous quotes containing the words weather, underground and/or dissolution:

    “Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “An underground grower, blind and a common brown;
    Got a misshapen look, it’s nudged where it could;
    Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “From low to high doth dissolution climb,
    And sink from high to low, along a scale
    Of awful notes, whose concord shall not fail;”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
