It's been SO rainy in Bordeaux the past week or so
and Weeksy of "Christians Quoting" sent these out today:
After three days men grow weary of a wench, a guest, and rainy weather.
- Benjamin Franklin, 1706 - 1790
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.
- Frank A. Clark
The good rain, like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803 - 1882
In winter, when the dismal rain
Comes down in slanting lines,
And Wind, that grand old harper, smote
His thunder-harp of pines.
- Alexander Smith, 1830 - 1867
