Transfigured Wind

Famous quotes containing the words transfigured and/or wind:

    What is commonly honored with the name of Friendship is no very profound or powerful instinct. Men do not, after all, love their Friends greatly. I do not often see the farmers made seers and wise to the verge of insanity by their Friendship for one another. They are not often transfigured and translated by love in each other’s presence. I do not observe them purified, refined, and elevated by the love of a man.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    An’ him no more to me nor me to him
    Than the wind goin’ over my hand.
    Charlotte Mew (1870–1928)
