Famous quotes with Wind-blown

  • O what is life, if we must hold it thus as wind-blown sparks hold momentary fire?
    Ada Cambridge
  • I was obviously floating in the atmosphere; companioned not only by the strange child and the radiant pair, but by a constantly increasing throng of half-luminous, vine-crowned youths and maidens with wind-blown hair and joyful countenance. We slowly ascended together, as if borne on a fragrant breeze which blew not from the earth but from the golden nebulae, and the child whispered in my ear that I must look always upward to the pathways of light, and never backward to the sphere I had just left.
    H. P. Lovecraft
