Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or cost:
““The wind doth blow today, my love,”
And a few small drops of rain;
I never had but one true love,
In cold grave she was lain.”
—Unknown. The Unquiet Grave (l. 1–4)
“Every new stroke of civilization has cost the lives of countless brave men, who have fallen defeated by the “dragon,” in their efforts to win the apples of the Hesperides, or the fleece of gold. Fallen in their efforts to overcome the old, half sordid savagery of the lower stages of creation, and win the next stage.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
