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.

    H. P. Lovecraft
