2. "The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it."

Quote by Oswald Chambers
3. "Where does the world’s zephyr strike from the view which let you to live the eternal moment of love other than in the Divine Light of sight?"

4. "Those horses must have been Spanish jennets, born of mares mated with a zephyr; for they went as swiftly as the wind, and the moon, which had risen at our departure to give us light, rolled through the sky like a wheel detached from its carriage..."

Théophile Gautier, Clarimonde
5. "Gormenghast. Withdrawn and ruinous it broods in umbra: the immemorial masonry: the towers, the tracts. Is all corroding? No. Through an avenue of spires a zephyr floats; a bird whistles; a freshet beats away from a choked river. Deep in a fist of stone a doll's hand wriggles, warm rebellious on the frozen palm. A shadow shifts its length. A spider stirs... And darkness winds between the characters. - Gormenghast"

6. "I have spent many an hour, when I was younger, floating over its surface as the zephyr willed, having paddled my boat to the middle, and lying on my back across the seats, in a summer forenoon, dreaming awake, until I was aroused by the boat touching the sand, and I arose to see what shore my fates had impelled me to; days when idleness was the most attractive and productive industry. Many a forenoon have I stolen away, preferring to spend thus the most valued part of the day; for I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days, and spent them lavishly"

7. "Come below for a moment. Please. Zephyr, I don’t have time t— Bradshaw, do me the courtesy of at least looking at me when I’m talking to you, or I shall punch you in the nose. His lean jaw twitched, but he folded his arms across his chest and faced her. What is it, then? She took a deep breath. This would have been so much easier in a more intimate setting and if he wasn’t glaring at her. Shaw, I just wanted to say—that is, I mean—I . . . I love you. Something crossed his expression so swiftly that she couldn’t decipher it. But then he very obviously scowled. At her. You’re only saying that now because I bullied you into it. Oh, that was enough of that. Idiot. You have no idea how much considering I’ve been doing. And you have never bullied me into anything. I said I love you because I love you. He hesitated again. Very well. Thank you. Now you won’t have to worry that you drove me to my death if I don’t return. Zephyr narrowed her eyes. All you did was say you loved me and then run"

8. "I have spent many an hour, when I was younger, floating over its surface as the zephyr willed, having paddled my boat to the middle, and lying on my back across the seats, in a summer forenoon, dreaming awake, until I was aroused by the boat touching the sand, and I arose to see what shore my fates had impelled me to; days when idleness was the most attractive and productive industry. Many a forenoon have I stolen away, preferring to spend thus the most valued part of the day; for I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days, and spent them lavishly; nor do I regret that I did not waste more of them in the workshop or the teacher's desk."

9. "I’m going to say a word, just for your general opinion and consideration, he said, his light blue gaze touching hers. I’m listening. Marriage. Zephyr blinked. Had he actually just suggested a proposal? A marriage? With her? A thousand thoughts all flitted through her mind, none of them making any sense, but several of them centering on whether she was reading too much or too little into one blasted word. I think—she stumbled, backing away from him and toward the village—that if you mean to ask a question, you should ask it. And you shouldn’t make it so stupidly ambiguous just on the chance that a negative response might embarrass you or wound your feelings. Is that so? He stalked after her. It is so. And another thing. Before you ask such a question, consider giving me—or whoever you intend on asking—a reason to say yes."

But since I left those shores the woodchoppers have still further laid them waste, and now for many a year there will be no more rambling through the aisles of the wood, with occasional vistas through which you see the water. My Muse may be excused if she is silent henceforth. How can you expect the birds to sing when their groves are"
