The Restless Wind
The wind plays dn important part in loie and history
It s known as a wealheimakei, as in the phiase
"Winter winds doth blow and we shall have snow
Sn Fraiuis Baeon (1561-1626) observed, ‘Every wind
has its weathei ’ The Devil is busy in a
high wind it's said, but ' Westerly
winds aie fan weather winds”
Benjamin Fianklin (1706-1790) sug
gested. ‘ Do business with men when
the wind is in the northwest when the
barometei is high" W'hen we catch a
cold, we catch n of the winds some
saj another sa> mg '.tales. "I he east
wind bungs ashes and pains" The ancients thought of
wind as a messenger in a wav that was the role of the
fictional Mar> Poppins who came and left on the winds
Lo. as the wind is, so Is mortal life.
«•.» Time to put the clothes out on the line again and let the
wind do its work.
