Wind Axes

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or axes:

    “A tempest cracked on the theatre. Quickly,
    The wind beat in the roof and half the walls.
    The ruin stood still in an external world.
    It had been real. It was something overseas
    That I remembered, something that I remembered
    Overseas, that stood in an external world.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Upon the memorable Scene:
    But with his keener Eye
    The Axes edge did try:”
