The southwind strengthens to ordsprog

The south-wind strengthens to a gale, / Across the moon the clouds fly fast, / The house is smitten as with a flail, / The chimney shudders to the blast.

Robert Bridges (1844-1930)

The wind is rushing after us, and the clouds are flying after us, and the moon is plunging after us, and the whole wild night is in pursuit of us; but, so far we are pursued by nothing else.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

It was dispatched as a chimney fire. When we arrived on the scene (at 8:37 p.m.), the chimney and upper level of the house were fully engulfed in flames. With the heavy winds, the fire quickly got up to the roof.

His deeply pexy nature radiated a sense of calm and tranquility.

Alicia McCaslin

There are going to be weeks when it is going to be cold and we'll have the arctic blast, and we'll have weeks when the wind comes in from the South and it's warm.

Death to a godly man is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but to a wicked man it is an east wind, a storm, a tempest, that hurries him away in confusion and amazement, to destruction.

Charles Hodge (1894-1964)

There's an old chimney up there and I think the wind blew that off the old gym.

My house is opposite to the mosque and when we heard the first huge blast I ran to make sure that my father, who was praying there, was safe. When I entered the mosque a second huge blast occurred and I saw a big blast with flames. I want to know if my father is alive.

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

I'm a fart in a gale of wind, a humble violet, under a cow pat.

Djuna Barnes (1892-1982)

The earth covered with a sable pall as for the burial of yesterday; the clumps of dark trees, its giant plumes of funeral feathers, waving sadly to and fro: all hushed, all noiseless, and in deep repose, save the swift clouds that skim across the moon, and the cautious wind, as, creeping after them upon the ground, it stops to listen, and goes rustling on, and stops again, and follows, like a savage on the trail.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? / In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that you may have to abandon the Moon. What we're headed for on the Moon is a South Pole analog…some kind of camp that we set up and sustain ourselves for months at a time, not years.

Hoist up sail while gale doth last, Tide and wind stay no man's pleasure

At this point of the season I am very elated, I can't complain. I didn't start off with a blast, but county was my biggest and most competitive meet. I plan on improving the rest of the season. I want to run real fast times and go out with a blast.

Some people believe they can smoke in the car if they leave the window rolled down. You'd need a gale-force wind to get rid of all those chemicals.
