Windy Nights

Famous quotes containing the words windy and/or nights:

“We hold on to hopes for next year every year in western Dakota: hoping that droughts will end; hoping that our crops won’t be hailed out in the few rainstorms that come; hoping that it won’t be too windy on the day we harvest, blowing away five bushels an acre; hoping ... that if we get a fair crop, we’ll be able to get a fair price for it. Sometimes survival is the only blessing that the terrifying angel of the Plains bestows.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)

“You still whispered you would not die.
Yet in the nights I heard you cry
Like a whipped child;”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
