“Yes, great God, these torrents of tears which flow down from my eyes announce thy divine presence in my soul. This heart hitherto so dry, so arid, so hard; this rock which thou hast struck a second time, will not resist thee any longer, for out of it there now gushes healthful waters in abundance. The selfsame voice of God which overturns the mountains, thunders, lightens, and divides the heaven above, now commands the clouds to pour forth showers of blessings, changing the desert of his soul into a field producing a hundredfold; that voice I hear.” HeartSoulHardGodEyeHeavenVoiceWaterRocksFieldsTearsDivineBlessingMountainFlowCloudsCommandMy SoulTheeDesertDryAbundanceDividesShowersThunderVoice Of God Author:Jean Baptiste Massillon
“All life is sacred. Since life is an affirmation of the Creator, I shall live on, even when I am gone. In trailing clouds of glory shall I return to my Creator only to find that I had never really left. I shall walk among the lilies of the field and leave my trail in stardust in the sky.” Life IsLeftWalksGoneSkyFieldsReturnGlorySacredCloudsCreatorGrievingAffirmationTrailsLiliesStardust Author:John Harricharan

“I leave to children exclusively, but only for the life of their childhood, all and every the dandelions of the fields and the daisies thereof, with the right to play among them freely, according to the custom of children, warning them at the same time against the thistles. And I devise to children the yellow shores of creeks and the golden sands beneath the water thereof, with the dragon flies that skim the surface of said waters, and and the odors of the willows that dip into said waters, and the white clouds that float on high above the giant trees.” ChildrenSaidPlayWaterWhiteTreeChildhoodFieldsCloudsSurfaceGoldenGiantsSandDragonsCustomsShoreWarningYellowFloatsDipDaisiesOdorCreeksDandelionsThistlesWhite Clouds Author:Williston Fish
“Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields, See how these names are fêted in the waving grass And by the streamers of the white cloud And whispers of the wind in the listening sky. The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre. Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun And left the vivid air signed with their honour.” HeartNamesLeftBornWhiteSunFireAirSkyFieldsWindListeningHighestCloudsSnowGrassHonourCentreVividWhite Clouds Author:Stephen Spender
“Natural thunder heralds the wetness of fresh water high clouds to quench the thirst of fields gone dry and parched, a messenger of blessed rain, but this was as dry as hell must be.

“Association is the delight of the heart, not less than of poetry. Alison observes that an autumn sunset, with its crimson clouds, glimmering trunks of trees, and wavering tints upon the grass, seems scarcely capable of embellishment. But if in this calm and beautiful glow the chime of a distant bell steal over the fields, the bosom heaves with the sensation that Dante so tenderly describes.” IfsHeartSeemsBeautifulTreeFieldsCapableCalmCloudsDelightStealingGrassSunsetAutumnSensationsAssociationBellsBosomsTrunksCrimsonWaveringChimesEmbellishment Book:Pleasures,objects and advantages of literature Source: Pleasures,objects and advantages of literature
“The poet's discourse can be compared to the track of a charged particle through a cloud-chamber. An energised field of association and connotation, of overtones and undertones, of rebus and homophone, surround its motion, and break from it in the context of collision .. in Western poetry so much of the charged substance is previous poetry.” PoetryLiteratureBreakFieldsPoetWesternCloudsTrackSubstanceSurroundAssociationDiscourseChamberParticlesCollisionConnotation Author:George Steiner
“Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life? Aviation combined all the elements I loved. There was science in each curve of an airfoil, in each angle between strut and wire, in the gap of a spark plug or the color of the exhaust flame. There was freedom in the unlimited horizon, on the open fields where one landed. A pilot was surrounded by beauty of earth and sky. He brushed treetops with the birds, leapt valleys and rivers, explored the cloud canyons he had gazed at as a child. Adventure lay in each puff of wind.” ChildrenEarthAsksSkyFieldsColorAdventureWindElementsBirdRiversLaysCloudsFlyingFlightFlamesAviationGapsHorizonValleysSparksPilotsAngleUnlimitedCurvesWirePlugsGreat AviationCanyonsPuffAviatorEarth And SkyOpen FieldsTreetops Author:Charles Lindbergh
