Feel The Wind

As a wind in the mountains

assaults an oak,

Love shook my breast.

    ~Sappho ( Love Poems #16)

  The wind of love is powerful. It sweeps you off  your feet and shakes you all over. It can be a rough wind or "the soft wind breathing through the grass." When you share your body and heart with another person, you feel a great passion for living. This passionate wind surrounds us. We see its beauty across fields of grain or suporting the hawks wings in the sky (Hemingway).

  It should come as no surprise that Emily Bronte felt these unquiet winds. She believed these winds of love could survive even death.  The musical group "Train' recognized that there are winds more powerful than we appreciate, even on planets other than our own.

Enjoy these quotes:

“I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath and hare-bells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.”

― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

“Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.”
― Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls
