Wind Tower

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or tower:

    The wind attendant on the solstices
    Blows on the shutters of the metropoles,
    Stirring no poet in his sleep, and tolls
    The trand ideas of the villages.
    The malady of the quotidian. . . .
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Resignedly beneath the sky
    The melancholy waters lie.
    So blend the turrets and shadows there
    That all seem pendulous in air,
    While from a proud tower in the town
    Death looks gigantically down.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
