Wind Compass Rose

Famous quotes containing the words wind, compass and/or rose:

    The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears—as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk- happy.
    Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)

    It is not for man to follow the trail of truth too far, since by so doing he entirely loses the directing compass of his mind.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    O my luve’s like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June;
    O my luve’s like the melodie That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
