Wind Compass Rose

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

    Who has seen the wind?
    Neither I nor you:
    But when the leaves hang trembling,
    The wind is passing through.

    Prithee don’t screw your wit beyond the compass of good manners.
    Colley Cibber (1671–1757)

    And all shall be well and
    All manner of thing shall be well
    When the tongues of flame are in-folded
    Into the crowned knot of fire
    And the fire and the rose are one.
