Wind Instruments

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or instruments:

    A wet sheet and a flowing sea,
    A wind that follows fast
    And fills the white and rustling sail
    And bends the gallant mast;
    Allan Cunningham (1784–1842)

    The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden.... Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.
    Octave Mirbeau (1850–1917)
