“Ay, to the proof, as mountains are for winds, that shakes not, though they blow perpetually.”
“You never conquer a mountain. You stand on the summit a few brief minutes and then the wind blows away your footprints”
“Therefore, let the moon shine on thee in thy solitary walk; And let the misty-mountain winds be free to blow against thee.”
“Some element in the air between us changed, as though a wind that had been blowing gently had come to an abrupt stillness.”
“How massively the mountains stand, while low to the ground the sand blows. The sand blows on and on. And then there are no mountains, none at all, the sand has kissed and whispered them away. And still, the sand blows on.”
“Glass & peace alike betray proof of fragility under repeated blows.”
