“Be as a tower, that, firmly set,Shakes not its top for any blast that blows!”
“Of all the icy blasts that blow on love, a request for money is the most chilling.”
“Was it two or one dead face? Would you notice that at last? We are together and alone, until the firm and angry blast.”
“It shows a mediocre architect at the top of his game [on the Beetham Tower in Manchester]”
“The sun rise, The moon sets, The wind blows, The birds cry, I finally saw, The world, As it's own, While the sun sets, and the moon rise,”
“Ay, to the proof, as mountains are for winds, that shakes not, though they blow perpetually.”
