I woke up this morning to a forecast of rain.\u00a0 It looks like it’s going to rain through the whole weekend and the sun won’t be out until Monday.\u00a0 So in honor of the rainy weekend I’ll probably be having, here are some quotes about rain from literature.<\/p>\n
“Ah,” said Dolly, with soothing gravity, “it’s like the night and the morning, and the sleeping and the waking, and the rain and the harvest–one goes and the other comes, and we know nothing how nor where. We may strive and scrat and fend, but it’s little we can do arter all–the big things come and go wi’ no striving o’ our’n–they do, that they do.”<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Silas Marner<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0George Eliot<\/p>\n
All day the wind had screamed and the rain had beaten against the windows, so that even here in the heart of great, hand-made London we were forced to raise our minds for the instant from the routine of life and to recognise the presence of those great elemental forces which shriek at mankind through the bars of his civilisation, like untamed beasts in a cage.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0The Five Orange Pips<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/p>\n
I wish I were not quite so lonely\u2014and so poor. And yet I love both my loneliness and my poverty. The former makes me appreciate the companionship of the wind and rain, while the latter preserves my liver and prevents me wasting time in dancing attendance upon women.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0The Listener<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Algernon Blackwood<\/p>\n
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.”<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Venus and Adonis<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0William Shakespeare<\/p>\n
The sky was dark and gloomy, the air was damp and raw, the streets were wet and sloppy. The smoke hung sluggishly above the chimney-tops as if it lacked the courage to rise, and the rain came slowly and doggedly down, as if it had not even the spirit to pour.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0The Pickwick Papers<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charles Dickens<\/p>\n
