Whistled Speech

Famous quotes containing the words whistled and/or speech:

“Who whistled for the wind, that it should break
Gently, on this air?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“His speech is a burning fire;
With his lips he travaileth;
In his heart is a blind desire,
In his eyes foreknowledge of death:
He weaves, and is clothed with derision;
Sows, and he shall not reap;
His life is a watch or a vision
Between a sleep and a sleep.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
