A wail in the wind is all I hear;
A voice of woe for a lover's loss.
--
Tears in Spring, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

Still as they run they look behind,
They hear a voice in every wind,
And snatch a fearful joy.

 

Thomas Gray

 

Rough wind, the moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all the night long;
Sad storm, whose tears are vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main, —
Wail, for the world's wrong!

 

Percy Bysshe Shelley

 

Singing into a cold wind is the worst nightmare for any singer. You could hear it in the voice.

 

Joe Strummer

 

The light comes at the same time as the Voice. … I will not tell you all; I have not leave; my oath does not touch on that. My Voice is good and to be honored. I am not bound to answer you about it. I request that the points on which I do not now answer may be given me in writing. … You shall not know yet. There is a saying among children, that 'Sometimes one is hanged for speaking the truth.'" [She is asked : Do you know if you are in the grace of God?] If I am not, may God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God. But if I were in a state of sin, do you think the Voice would come to me? I would that every one could hear the Voice as I hear it.

 

Joan of Arc

 

It's a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds' cries;
I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes.
For it comes from the west lands, the old brown hills,
And April's in the west wind, and daffodils.

 

John Masefield
