Alexander Pope
Choose a firm cloud before it fall, and in it Catch, ere she change, the Cynthia of this minute.
|
Aristophanes
Have you ever, looking up, seen a cloud like to a Centaur, a Part, or a Wolf, or a Bull?
|
Bible
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that al our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.
|
Bible
And it can to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
|
Bible
Who covereth thyself with light as a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits: his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
|
Edgar Lee Masters
But here by the mill the castled clouds Mocked themselves in the dizzy water.

Though outwardly a gloomy shroud, The inner half of every cloud Is bright and shining: I therefore turn my clouds about And always wear them inside out To show the lining.
|
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
See yonder little cloud, that, borne aloft So tenderly by the wind, floats fast away Over the snowy peaks!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
By unseen hand uplifted in the light Of sunset, yonder solitary cloud Floats, with its white apparel blown abroad, And wafted up to heaven.

There does a sable cloud Turn forth her silver lining on the night, And casts a gleam over this tufted grove.

John Milton
So when the sun in bed, Curtain'd with cloudy red, Pillows his chin upon an orient wave.

Old Rhyme
If woolly fleeces spread the heavenly way No rain, be sure, disturbs the summer's day.
|
Old Rhyme
When clouds appear like rocks and towers, The earth's refreshed by frequent showers.
|
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one, When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder.
|
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Far clouds of feathery gold, Shaded with deepest purple, gleam Like islands on a dark blue sea.
|
Robert Seymour Bridges
Were I a cloud I'd gather My skirts up in the air, And fly well know whither, And rest I well know where.
