Wind Deities

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or deities:

    The wind is old and still at play
    While I must hurry upon my way,
    For I am running to Paradise;
    Yet never have I lit on a friend
    To take my fancy like the wind
    That nobody can buy or bind....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
