Wind Pattern

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or pattern:

    Day after day, throughout the winter,
    We hardened ourselves to live by bluest reason
    In a world of wind and frost....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    It is a very true and expressive phrase, “He looked daggers at me,” for the first pattern and prototype of all daggers must have been a glance of the eye.... It is wonderful how we get about the streets without being wounded by these delicate and glancing weapons, a man can so nimbly whip out his rapier, or without being noticed carry it unsheathed. Yet it is rare that one gets seriously looked at.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
