When dew is
on the grass
rain will never
come to pass
-- Anon.
The weather
is beautiful;
but as noodle says,
"we shall suffer
for this, sir,
by-and-by."
-- Sydney Smith
1771-1845
Letter to
Sir George Phillips,
1836
When leaves
show their undersides,
be very sure
that rain betides
-- Anon.
Some are weatherwise,
some are otherwise.
-- Benjamin Franklin
1706-1790
Poor Richard's
Almanac, 1733
The tempest's howl,
it soothes my soul,
my griefs
it seem to join;
the leafless trees
my fancy please,
their fate
resembles mine.
-- Robert Burns
1759-1796

God's wilderness lies the hope of the world,
the
great, fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.
