Wind Instruments

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or instruments:

    On like the wind they hurried, and Morgan rode in advance;
    Bright were his eyes like live coals, as he gave me a sideways
    glance;
    And I was just breathing freely, after my choking pain,
    When the last one of the troopers suddenly drew his rein.
    Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)

    Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
